Access Issue: Neighborhood Parking Details

Please be mindful of the neighbors on Big Rock Lake Road. Do not park along the road, generate excessive noise in the parking lot or at the cliff, or camp out. If the parking is full, use the spot at the intersection of Preston McDaniel and Nine Times Roads. This is a neighborhood, drive slow and be courteous. Violating one of these rules is an easy way to get the cliff shutdown for everyone.

Description

P1 5.3 50ft Start in a 20 foot, fist-sized crack. There is a hangerless bolt on the slab above the terminus of the crack which can be slung with a nut. Transition to slab left, or move right around a mountain laurel onto the slab. There are several opportunities to place cams on the way to the Mussy Hooks on the headwall.

P2 5.3 50ft From mussy hooks traverse the head wall left plugging large cam in seam mantle ledge at pine tree below Grass Fed anchors. Continue traversing left moving around the flake and up top out upper shaman wall. Two options for anchor use tree directly in front of you as you top out or use anchors for Grass Fed. For rappel use anchor for Watch your Nutellas to get back to where you started.

Beautiful views and nice exposure with very relaxed climbing. Only 5.3 multi pitch at Big Rock.
