Description

Many routes begin off a stage. Begin with tricky slabs. Steep and difficult face climbing awaits.

Getting There

The fifth area you hike to from parking lot if hiking along base of walls.

From main waterfall trail, take the trail branching right "to campground." This will bring you up around a large boulder to the base of the Goreville theatre, staring at "Apex predator." Routes to the left begin off a large belay ledge, accessed far left of wall.
