Description
A cliff band on the north side of the Potomac River just northwest of Washington DC. The rock is Wissahickon Shist, it’s hard, gray and contains white quartz crystals. The rocks are about 40 feet high. The area is top roped using trees and there are lots of hard foot work challenges. It's a beautiful area in the hardwood forest that is peaceful, but very popular.
