Access Issue: Details

Much of the surrounding area is private property with public trail access, but GLR was donated to IRLC back in the early 2000's which gives it free reign in terms of public access to hunting, as well as climbing.

Description

Quaint gulley with cliffs on either side. Nice little stream passing through and a peaceful setting overall. Trail side wall has plentiful highball options, while the cliff across the stream would give some power packed short routes. Rock quality is good, but parts are mossy and seepage is high. If you’re looking to get scared on some taller boulders, this is your ticket

Getting There

Take the north ridge trail for about 8 minutes. As you descend into a gulley on the trail, the cliffs will be to your left and right, a stream passing through the middle.
