Description

The striking ~30 degree overhang where the first lines of Little Russia were bolted. A couple lines on the left for the kids, and more serious lines for the gym punks to the right. Climbs are gymnastic and generally feature good holds.

Cleaning these lines was very difficult due to the extreme overhang. If you deviate at all from the line you'll find loose rock- just make sure no one is under you when you're climbing.

Get's a splash of morning sun. Some holds leak in early season or after heavy rain.

Getting There

From the parking lot, head up the trail on the East/North side of the creek. Take the well worn trail, branching left (signed) on a well worn trail that cuts a side slope before dropping back to the creek. Cross the creek just before it enters the canyon and pick up the trail on the other side. It will deposit you at The Overhang.
