Description Suggest change

This set of short cliffs lies just below the summit and parking area of Mount Erie. The bolted routes are generally difficult and the gear routes finicky, so most spend their time toproping moderates off many bolted anchors and trees. With a 5 minute approach and a great view, this is an excellent place to go for your first visit to Erie.

Getting There Suggest change

From the south lookout, take various rambling trails around the crags and below. Otherwise, rappel in from easily approached bolted anchors east of the south lookout.
