Moonworms

Description

Located between the Noodle and Small Steps zones and above Lolybird, you'll find the namesake face and crack climbs in a unique setting.  

Big thanks to Derek Pearson for showing this area to us.

Getting There

The most direct way to access the Moonworms area is to climb Straight Outta Squamish or Mercury Morris. Alternatively, climb a route on Lolybird and do a short traverse to the left, or rap in from the top.
