Description Suggest change

This a smaller (Obed Standards), shady crag. However, there is a fine collection of routes, and the walk is no more than 5 minutes. Because of the shade, this is one of the more popular places to climb during the summer.

Getting There Suggest change

Park in one of the two paved parking lots on either side of the Lilly Bridge. At the west end of the bridge, look for an obvious trail near a bear-proof trash can that heads into the woods. Follow this trail, which intersects the cliff line at a tall, prominent wall. Head right for Lilly Bluff.
