Description

Great igneous stone. Overhanging bouldering. Short sport climbing. Possibly one trad line. Completely undeveloped. 4 boulders total. Three on the east slide of the river and one on the west. These 4 boulders have 15-25 lines. Some routes are dependent on River level. This place has some inspiring and probably very hard lines just waiting to be climbed. First ascents here don’t come without a little PNW gardening.

Getting There

Park on south side of fairfax bridge. Walk across bridge. take a sharp right and take a steep trail under the bridge. Once on the walking trail take a left and walk for about 3/4 mile. There is no trail to the actual boulders so you are just going to have to spot them from the trail on your own. If you get to melmont you’ve gone too far. If this place gets more popular I will certainly upgrade directions.
