Description

This area follows the Bluff Trail alongside Shoal Creek, the rock is a chert-quartzite form, so very sharp and too crumbly to install bolts or trad climb, top roping and bouldering are the only real options.
The faces are often in shade, and thick with vegitation and wasps around the summer time; not many people climb this area, though you will see the occasional rappeller. Bring lots of webbing for anchors.
