Description Suggest change

This is a collection of crags on the eastern side of Old Chicago with very easy access and a nice selection of easy to moderate routes.

  •  This wall goes into shade around 5 p.m. in the summer and combined with the short approach, makes it a viable option for an evening session.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive Chicago Road roughly 3 miles to just before it ends, pass the spur road that leads to the base of the main face, and continue straight until the road tees.

 Make a right and then follow the road that ends in a loop below the east face of the formation.

  • Park alongside but don't block the circular turnaround at the terminus of the road.
