Access Issue: Partial closure due to flood damage

Description
This is a chossy cliff. It is the nature of the rock here, and it does add danger to the area. The use of helmets and caution are highly recommend while climbing here. Be weary from rockfall off the upper tier as well as when pulling rope.
It is a two tier crag, the bottom consisting of slabby chert rail climbs, and the top with some long technical face climbing.
All climbs have anchors with hooks of some kind to make cleaning easier.
All climbs on the bottom tier can be climbed with a 60m rope.
All of the climbs on the upper section require a 70m rope.
Clever name from Michael Kimm.
Climb at your own risk.

Getting There
Head up the main trail going to Sonar. As the main trail turns right just before the trail for Sonar, you instead head straight where the cut down trees are. Follow the developed game trail that runs parallel to echo cliff. when you reach a noticeably large red bark tree, hang a right up the switchbacks littered with fallen choss till you reach the base of the cliff.
