Access Issue: This area is designated as Charon Details

Currently the the US Fish and Wildlife Service is reviewing the Comprehensive Conservation Plan and reviewing activities for compatibility. Contact the Access Fund or the Wichita Mountains Climber's Coalition for more information on how you can get involved in keeping the tradition of climbing safe in the Wildlife Refuge. Use extra care to avoid doing anything to change the natural resources in any way.

Access Issue: Access is always an issue here. Details

Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean.

Description

This area is often visited by tourists and I'm sure people have bouldered here over the years. Although I have been surprised that most people I mention it to have never climbed here. There are lots of boulders and I'm sure several problems can be added. If you want a fun place to wander around and boulder and don't have much time this is a good spot.

Getting There

Just to the south of Fawn Creek Campground there is a paved pull-off on the east side of the road. Park there, cross the road, find a trail, hike west directly up the steep ramp, and when you reach the top after 50 meters or so you will see "Prelude" boulder to the right (north) and a "hallway" between to large boulders to your left (south).
