Description

I don't know the history of this area so others please feel free to fill it in. This area has a range of flows that go from WI2-4 and range in height from 20-60+ ft. The central area has a few beautiful curtains and pillars. The right side is shorter, but a good practice area. The left has a wide variety. It gets afternoon sun and probably isn't fully in until late December/early January.

On either end, you can trudge up to the top to rig TRs but be cautious of the quality of the trees up there.

Getting There

Find the orange-flagged trail behind the Barnes Cabin, cross the small bridge and head up the hill. Follow this trail for approximately 3/4 mile, crossing two streams along the way. After the second stream start looking up to your right. You'll see the crag up there and possibly a few orange tape markers leading up that way. Bushwack the easiest way to the base.
