Description Suggest change

This is one of the more popular newer climbing areas in the Granite Dells. Shady Grove is a shady little area with mainly south facing routes in a group of trees above a pond on Granite Creek. The majority of the routes are bolt protected. The approach and accessibility make this a fun outing. Please be respectful of the people living across the pond. No rock throwing below into the water, there are wood ducks nesting below. Thanks

Getting There Suggest change

Hike the Stairway Loop trail to.......the long stairway. The bolted routes will be obvious.
