This trail disappears to the left, creeping between a narrow gap in the rock. This is an example of some of the better-quality rock at Ledge Park. A lot of it is choss, but there are some great sections just waiting to be climbed.
One of the Southernmost sections of the escarpment.

A sign within the 'bouldering area' - located just footsteps west of the first parking lot. This whole area is pretty large, with many cavernous crevacices winding north for several hundred feet. As one person noted, there's potential for 20+ problems here, but it's currently VERY underdeveloped. The area is trafficked by kids and families exporing, and there is some litter; be mindful of broken glass, I've found a little here and there (garbage/recycling dumpsters are a short walk north if you're so inclined to clean up after other people.)<br> <br> The main ledge is located past this area to the north.
One of the taller bluffs at ledge park.
One of the larger standing pillars of rock, in the 'bouldering area' sitting next to the trail that winds along the base of the escarpment.
One of the trails that cuts through the Southern section of the escarpment. The Northern section is one continuous wall, while the Southern bit is ripe for bouldering, with the rock breaking into numerous crevices large enough to walk through.

Just a wider, more recent shot of the same section of ledge pictured on this area's profile.
Me doing some moves on the slanting boulder. Crapy photo, but you get the point.
Possible V1? Start in the juggy finger pockets on the bottom and go straight up, staying away from the nice finger pocket halfway up the face.
