Description

Beautiful south facing sunny crag with plenty of trees for shade in the heat. Fantastic views of the ocean & the island forests. Great place to hang out all day!
Plenty of climbs for all levels from 5.7 - 5.12+ with a super fun VO boulder traverse up top above the climbs.
Most of the climbs are top rope-able, recommend bringing long anchor material and/or a rope bag to place on the rock rub spots near the anchor - the crag as amazingly high friction rock, which is great for your feet but but isn't so rope friendly sometimes :)

Getting There

25 minutes from the Chinese Mountains parking lot.
Follow the Beech's Mountain Trail to the Morte Lake Trail junction, then head uphill approx 5 minutes to the Keystone Turn off. Go through the gap in sickle edge and take the fixed line up to Keystone Crag. Keystone is located at approximately the same elevation as
