Follow the trail when you find the skull.

Please park here and do not drive down this road. The land owner is ok with climbers walking down his road, but please stay on the road.

V2s don't get much better than this. This block could host about 8 problems. <br>
<br>
The area beneath the brown wall has seen the most developement as far as bouldering goes. There are beautiful boulders all over the place, put on your adventure hat and find yourself a sweet line.

These signs assure your on the right path to the crag.

This is where you leave the private property. Go straight where the road turns right.

Please Don't Do This.<br>
