Description

The start of South Fork Hellhole Canyon. Beautiful and secluded. A good concentration of quality boulders at the end of the canyon and east facing hillside. The ridge line has a number of potential routes but getting there is not an easy task.

Getting There

Enter as if to go to CPVC but take an immediate left at the fork. Follow the road all the way until you reach a roundabout at the Pena springs trailhead. Follow the trail down into the canyon and turn left heading west up the canyon. Approximately 1.25 miles from trailhead, and plan for about 1000 feet of elevation gain.
