Description
The rock is granite, very dusty which makes it very hard to smear. It is a sunny place most all of the year so bring the sun screen. It is a popular place on the weekends but pretty quiet during the week.
There are bolted routes.5.6-5.11 also some trad there too. There is a lot of loose rock around. Be careful.
