Description

Check with the locals as to the water depth/condition...but deep water soloing happens here along with two rope swings, and cliff jumping (sometimes on purpose, most of the times on accident)

Getting There

across the street from Hangdog toward the bridge is a hidden track that leads to the water's edge. there's a substantially long shuffle to be had on the limestone ledge that's slick and muddy at times (just have fun with it). the ledge eventually widens to a good cove, rope swings and a 30 foot roof just above the water's edge called 'Honeycomb Roof'
