Description
A small but quality cliff band on the left of the highway heading to the main area of peters branch, beautiful stone with excellent moderate to v10 climbs.
''This small crag is what got the ball rolling in the swan creek valley back in 2008. Evan marsh, ( a motivated Springfield native), had family living past the roadside further down highway T. He recognized the potential immediately. But it took the highway department cutting back a significant amount of brush and trees to finally make him stop and check out the climbing ''
"this band of boulders lands safely in a chunk of the mark twain national forest, so climbing is allowed. unfortunately, the best part of the cliff is close to the highway you land in the ditch while your spotter is standing on the pavement"
Getting There
from Springfield travel about 26 miles southeast to Sparta, either on HWY 125 or HWY 14. from Sparta travel east through town on Hwy 14/25 south. At the fork in the road continue south on Hwy 125 toward Oldfield for 3 miles. at Oldfield turn east/left onto Hwy T and stay on it for 5 miles. Keep an eye out on the left hand side of the road for a large sandstone face overhanging the ditch. park on Marshfield road, just west/left of the main area. PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY ACROSS THE RAOD FROM THE CLIMBING.
