Description

A super beautiful area with potential for lots of good boulders and a few taller walls that might be rope climbed by some, bouldered by others. This area in on public property and ok to climb at, but the trail system is built and maintained by a local older resident and much care has gone into making these beautiful hiking trails, treat them with care and show them that climbers are good people to have around. Also keep in mind that there are houses very close to several of the boulders/walls and that noise should be kept to a minimum, if possible.

Getting There

From Howard Gnesen Rd, turn up Middle Road and go roughly a 1/4 mile and park in the small paved area (will be on your right) that has room for 2-3 cars. Hike back down the road 100 yards or so and enter the trail at the power lines (on your right). You will see a rock wall in front of you, but that is private and not the climbing stuff. Hike a very small amount from the road on the trail and take a right down the trail and you will start to see stuff within a few minutes. The taller walls are maybe 10 minutes from the car, you pass over a few wooden bridges crossing the creek.
