Access Issue: RAIN AND WET ROCK: The sandstone is fragile and is can be easily damaged when recently wet.
Details
Please do not climb on actively wet or recently wet sandstone. Holds more easily break off and problems will be permanently damaged. After a heavy storm, the rock can remain wet, sometimes for several days even though it may not appear wet. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN ROY during or for up to 36 hours after rain/snow. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp, then do not climb.
Description
Arguably one the best warm up areas in Roy with close proximity to the road. It hosts a good number of fun problems in the V-easy to heartbreaking V2's all the way to a few V4/V5 problems.
Getting There
Drive down Mills Canyon road passing the first wash (Roadside Bouldering area) and continue down the road a short distance until you get to the "bench". When heading down the road there will be a road to the left that has a parks sign stating no vehicles etc. Park near here and walk down this trail that runs next to all the boulders.
