Without a doubt, Lake Travis, Austin Texas!

I've only been to E. Clear Creek outside of winslow AZ. You'll need a boat, and expect some 40-60 foot jump ins or falls. All super steep and safe, routes galore. Have fun!!

Say "Please!?!" :)

There is a county park (Pace Bend)(PMFB) where much of the DWS goes down, or up.

Go to 0 friction and search for Pace Bend. Be aware that many of the images are elsewhere around Lake Travis. The locals are all about taking the boat to the crags and have explored many of the coves. Luckily some of the coves are approached by car, as well.

Also, if you check the conditions link you will find water and air temps. The heat of the summer is upon Centex. Perfect for DWS.

Go dare.

I finally made it out to pace bend 2 summers ago when the water level was at max capacity. This place is incredible! The first route I got on had 4 rusty bolts that I giggled past. The Austin area truely has some of the best limestone anywhere, you gotta check it out.

Newest vid from Lake Travis... with the lake so low it seems like they are finding new rock!

That was a great video! I have heard about the drought down there, please be careful with the water levels and have fun!
