Description Suggest change

The north side of Arimo Rd. Unlike the alpine nature of the South side climbs, this area has single pitch sport and trad climbs on (mostly) clean rock.

Please note: The gully is full of loose rock, much of it large. Be careful not to knock rocks down on each other or into the road below. Kids and dogs are not recommended.

Getting There Suggest change

Park outside of the gap to the east. Please be sure to use the pullouts and clear the road completely. Walk west into the Gap, and look for a climber's trail on the north, just before the first fin touches the road. There's an old wooden "step" at the beginning of the trail. Follow this trail up and left over the base of the first fin. You'll see the obvious open book, which is the first climb. Keep following the trail around the buttress and into the gully. The sport climbs are on the the west facing wall.
