Description Suggest change

A large cluster of decent-sized boulders. This area has something for everyone. From v1 aretes to double-digit projects, this area is bound to captivate the climbers' imagination.

Getting There Suggest change

About a 12 minutes hike in from the parking lot. Head right at the Gazebo and follow the buoys into the woods before cutting right and traversing the hillside for about thirty yards or so until you come across a 30 foot long face with a bunch of problems on it. "Darkness Falls" itself is on the the other side on the adjacent boulder on the outside of the cave.
