Description

The Wave and J Walls face East and North. They are fairly short but can provide hours of fun for a small group. Access is about the same as Bushwhack Rock but with no bushwhack. I compiled route beta before learning that this area is in Indys Online Climbing Guide. I used the names from Indys guide where the routes match up. The beta photos are of what we climbed on our outing.

Getting There

Park just down hill from the fire road on the right side of Hamburg road approximately 2.5 mile from the intersection where Yellow Spring road becomes Hamburg road. Follow the fire road 0.7 miles or about 15 - 20 minutes. When the fire road reaches a rock outcrop and bends sharply to the right you've reached the rock. The main outcrops are here. The Wave and J Walls are to the right. Access is easiest from the right end. The climbs are on the far side.
