Description

A large concentration of quality vert 5.10s. This crag is super accessible, has quality rock and superb movement. Any climbers looking to lead low 5.10s will have nice day here as the routes are well bolted and the holds are obvious. If you think you’re too strong for the 5.10s head to the left side of the crag to find some really boulder-y 5.11s and a 5.12a….

Sun Beta

Morning Sun until 3pm. The far left routes and the far right routes get shade all day.

Rain Beta

You’ll find dry rock here during/ after rain, the middle of the crag is roof protected as well as the far right routes
