Description Suggest change

Boulder problems in the local quartzite playground. Despite being about 45 minutes from Visalia/Exeter with an easy approach, it's likely you'll be the only climbers at the crag.
The more it's cleaned up over the years, the better it's become. There is a lot of potential here.

Good to keep in mind as a plan B for when the weather on Moro turns ugly, but there is enough climbing to fill a day here. The weather is tolerable pretty much all year, it's never really crowded, easily accessible, and only a short walking distance to bathrooms and picnic tables. Excellent spot for an afternoon of climbing, swimming, and barbecuing.

Bears, mosquitoes, poison oak, ticks, rattlesnakes, rock fall, and a raging river are all potential hazards here, so take the same precautions you would at any developing climbing area, and keep yourself and others safe.

Camping can be found nearby at Buckeye Flats from spring to fall, or Potwisha campgrounds back toward the 198 entrance. Check at the entrance for availability or call the visitors center.

Getting There Suggest change

From Visalia/Three Rivers, take the 198 up through the park entrance. Only a short distance (~5 miles) from there to the Hospital Rock parking lot. Look for the sign, hard to miss.
