Climbing in the Corridor can be shady and cool when the temps in late spring and summer warm up.

Are there snakes in those holes? Not if there's a lizard residing within.

The Canyon is full of quality climbing from 5.8 to 5.11. Climbers (from left to right) on an unnamed 5.11a, "Itsy Bitsy Spider" 5.10a, and another unnamed 5.8
