Description 

A great year round climbing area. With 50+ routes, from easy to hard. Best routes are the harder ones, but beginners will have fun here, also. Beautiful sandstone climbing. Mostly sport, 8 quickdraws recomended, with some trad, 2 sets nuts and cams recommended.

West on CO 145 towards Norwood. Right at the bottom of Norwood Hill, just before the bridge on Forest Service Road 510. A few miles up, park in the large turnout on the left side of road. Trail to crag is across the road. 15 minute approach.
