Warning Access Issue: CRP Ongoing Development DetailsDrop down

Description Suggest change

The Fed is CRPs largest crag, 0.8 miles in length, with some routes over 100ft tall.

Access to The Fed from the parking lot uses a ‘Multi-Use Trail’ which will have mountain bike traffic, as well as hiker/climber traffic. Be vigilant when approaching the crag.

There are currently 4 splits off the Multi-Use Trail to get to different parts of The Fed. Since the approach comes from climbers right, Fed 1 is the right-most sector, and Fed 4 is the left-most sector.

Consider sorting routes from Right > Left.

Morning sun until 2pm.

Getting There Suggest change

From the parking lot head uphill briefly to the trailhead. Follow this trail down a staircase and a few Kipp ladders and you’ll be on the Multi-Use Trail. Fed 1 split is <5min from parking lot. Fed 4 is 15min from parking lot.
