Description Suggest change

This is one of the best crags in Juneau. The place is like a steep climbing gym full of giant jugs, underclings, and positive crimps. Climb when the tide is at a ~10' or lower level and your feet and ropes will stay dry. Some of the climbs have had their old rusty bolts replaced with new titanium bolts that should last in the salty environment. The rest of them will likely be rebolted soon. All anchors have been replaced in the last couple of years so they can all be safely top roped.

Getting There Suggest change

Out the road. Park at the road cliffs and walk North towards the sea cliffs. The trail down is on your left... the GPS point I used for this crag is actually where you leave the road. There might or might not be a cairn. The trail towards the beach splits left and right as you come to a small bluff. Right takes you down to the base of the cliffs. Left takes you to some trees that you can rap off of to reach the top anchors and set up top ropes.
