Description

A nice south facing wall receiving afternoon sun. This crag consists of 5.10s and 5.11s reminiscent of rock similar to Indy Wall. These are newer routes so expect some brushing to be required and some friable rock. This is currently a great place to go on busy weekends to escape the crowds.

Getting There

Approach as for Miller Fork, but park in the clearing on the left at the bottom of the hill before making the last turn for MFRP parking.

Detailed directions are as follows:
Turn off route 11 onto Shumaker Ridge Rd, continue for 3.2 mile, turn on Hell Creek Rd as if going to Miller Fork. Go down Hell Creek Rd until the bottom of the hill, park in a clearing on your left just before the gravel road crosses hell creek. (Making a right at the bottom of the hill takes you to Miller Fork Parking)

Parking Lot Coordinates: 37.627241, -83.662410
Crag Coordinates: 37.624027,-83.661293

Approach: 10 minutes from the parking clearing. Follow a logging road/ATV trail straight from the back of the clearing/parking (not up and left) continue about a quarter mile, crossing 2 creeks before making a left up a potentially less than obvious old logging road. This will take you up the hill until it peters out into a trail on the left that will take you to the wall.
