Access Issue: Follow Park Rules & Inspect Hardware
Details
Rock Climbing is currently listed as one of the activities to enjoy at Miller Springs park, and there are currently no rules or regulations prohibiting climbing here (
templeparks.com/parks___tra…).
However, access in Texas should never be taken for granted, and as such it is important that all visitors take extra care not do something that would jeopardize access in the future. As such, the park rules should be followed, which include observing park hours (8:00 a.m. - Dusk), no firearms or alcohol, no glass containers, and pets on a 6 foot leash. The full list of rules can be found at the above link.
In addition, due to the particularly dangerous nature of rock climbing, access can be jeopardized due to accidents which may occur while climbing.
- ***Please remember to INSPECT BOLTS prior to climbing on them, as many of the routes in this area were bolted nearly 30 years ago. Be VIGILANT when belaying, as rocks can break without warning, and decking is always possible!****
Description
Tricky climbing. Straight up pockets then cut left into large hueco after third bolt. Watch out for active bees and wasp nests. Pockets often fill with Daddy Long Leg spiders, so clean those out before attempting.
Location
Climb through the only features of the otherwise steep, blank, face.
Protection
4-6 bolts, no anchors
