Description

30 - 50 foot cliff that contains some more difficult climbs in the area. Part of the cliffline faces the river (so be sure you can get back up) and the other faces down stream.

Getting There

Park at the lot across from Old Anglers Inn. Walk towards the Angler's Footbridge, cross it, and make a right. (Note that Billy Goat Trail is now marked one-way so follow the rules accordingly.) Hike past the entrance of the Billy Goat Trail on your left, continuing with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal on your right. Take the first two-way shortcut trail that you see on your left after this. Walk until you meet with the Billy Goat trail, and at the intersection, go right, walking briefly until you can scramble down and to the right to the crag.
