Climbing Near Willowbrook, Illinois

These walls are located in the waterfall glen forest preserve. It does not get much sun so it stays wet for a long time after a rain. The best looking wall is right next to the water fall and is solid rock, which is pretty neat. the others have more moss/lichen on them. So far every time I have visited this location it was too wet to climb, hence why there are no problems set yet. I am thinking that they will be better in the fall. If you go and are able to climb it be sure to add the problem to this page. Also should mention its a bit of a highball. The best way to get to this spot is to drive to these coordinates (41.690246, -88.000947) and park on the side of the road in the gravel before the gate. Do not go past the gate with your car. There is a trail that leads around the gate which gets you into the preserve. Once you're past the gate there is another trail between the railroad tracks and the gate that will lead you to the creek's cascades, turn left on the trail and head down stream until you see the wall/waterfall

It beats plastic,its outside and it’s in the shade. Just off the road

Have you ever bitten into a nature valley granola bar and have a ton of crumbs fall to the ground, well that is what it is like to climb this wall. The wall is located in the parking lot of a business named Englewood construction. It gets lots of sun and there are lots of bugs. Its super crumbly so you will have to check each hold before putting all your weight on it. The wall is nice and long and great for traversing, but not so great for toping out. If you decide to climb here there is plenty of room for new problems and we hope that people put more up. After you finish climbing there be sure to move all the rocks that have fallen off the wall out of the parking lot and up against the base of the wall; we would like to keep it clean so we don't get banned from there. The wall is located in downtown Lemont in the parking lot of englewood construction, which is right off of main st. You can drive right up to it.
