Description Suggest change

This is a fun little area that is the closest sport crag to Valdez. There are some recent routes that have sprouted this summer (2011). A big thanks to those that have helped develop the crag.

Getting There Suggest change

On your way out of town, take a left at the blinking light (Airport Road). Keep going past the airport, and park in the pullout at the campground entrance. As of 2018 there is a new approach trail that starts where Airport Road merges with the campground driveway. Follow this path into the woods as it slowly turns left and goes directly to the base of the walls.
