Description 

General Information: This was a long forgotten area, there are few trad routes in the choss filled cracks just two maybe three. (Stacks of loose choss!!) Now the bolted climbs are cleaned of all the loose choss and ready to be enjoyed. There was 14 new lines put up in the summer of 2004, ranging from 5.8 to 5.11+. Don't forget to stop for some refreashments at The Snakepit on your way home!


Getting There 

Directions: Take exit 43 (off I-90) head north to Beehive cutoff. about the 5 mile marker, take a left over the river, then a right. The Crag is at mile 11.5 you can't miss it on your left. The trail to Aganst the Grain is on the right side of the power pole. The Rock Pit on the left of the pole is on private land so please respect that. A little ways down the road on the left is a pull out. (room for three or four cars) The trail is on the left side of the small stream.

The Main Face and the upper crags have been purchased and now is on private property. The Land owners have agreed to allow climbing. Please Respect the posted No Trespassing Sign for the Rock Pit on the left of the power pole @ mile mark 11.5. If we don't do our part we will lose this Crag.
