Description

South facing, overhanging limestone. Its a small
number of climbs, but the quality is high. The best place to climb in Iowa in the winter.

Getting There

Take 6th Ave north out of Canton, turn right on 166st and then left on 21st Ave. Just after you cross the bridge over the Maquoketa river there is a small road alongside a corn field. At the back side of the cornfield go through the gate. The crag is on the left hand side after the road starts to pull away from the river. Its hard to spot, the climbs are on top of a bluff.
