Description

This crag has good rock, easy access and is a great place to spend an afternoon. There’re a dozen or so roped climbs and some bouldering on a long, low, south facing cliff that crests at about 35’ tall. Some of the climbs have lead bolts but the top is rotten and the only reliable anchor is yourself far enough back to not get pulled off. First developed in the late ‘80s by Jim “Frodo” Lybarger, “Waterman” Bob Conz, Mark Quinn, Bart Dinsman, and a bunch of other Team Keyhole folk.

Getting There

Park at the McCullough Hills Trailhead at the west end of E Mission Dr. Hike a few hundred feet north along the concrete drainage ditch and the crags are visible from the parking lot.
