Comments: Thanks! It's kind of like a hybrid between a gym and the outdoors. All holds are basically on a vertical plane, but the texture is all granite. Good place to train, but watch your stuff.

Comments: The park gates don't open until 8. So if you stay in the park, get there about 7:30 and haul ass up to the tree ledge. Unless a bunch of other people have that same idea, then you should be ok and not have a line behind you when you get to the first belay station. Awesome route!

On the other hand, it was a family camping trip and I didn't really have much time to scrutinize the whole thing. It reminded me somewhat of LSM cliffs a little further north.
