Access Issue: Private Property! Details

The majority of Avery Drive is privately owned. The primary landowner has asked the local game warden to issue citations against people hunting on his land (early 2024) and since he does not want trespassing on his land he has put No Tresspassing signs up at the Lost City and Little Germany parking areas.

Parking in the substation area over by Vice Grips on the western end of the road is a known way of getting ticketed or towed by the city.

Description

This is the largest concentration of roped climbing in the Tulsa area. It includes John's Wall, which faces the road, and the rest of the walls that are around to the right on the backside of the outcropping.

In recent years (2018-2020) most bolts were replaced with SS glue-ins thanks to the ASCA (American Safe Climbing Association ).

Getting There

Parking for this area is at the large pullout on the north side of Avery Drive, and the crag is just across the road on the south side.
