Description
The cliff heats up in the summer, so don't go here if it's warmer than 70 degrees. In the cool weather of October and November, there is no better place to be; even if it's below freezing at the car, you'll be climbing in T-shirts at the cliff.
Getting There
From the Goodrich Mills Trailhead, follow the logging road to a clearing, then bear 45 degrees right and continue on the logging road to the height of land (good view of the cliff here). Continue another 1 minute along the flat road, then look for a herd path on the left (cairn). Follow this (some cairns) to the cliff. At the cliff, the main climbing areas are to the left. Walk / scramble along the base of the cliff until you reach Honeybadger.
Many new comers to the cliff spend hours thrashing through the brush, either due to confusion among the many logging roads in the area or because they fail to find the best place to launch off the logging road to the cliff. Downloading and following the GPS track is recommended! (click "climbing area map" on the upper left part of this page, then click on the line that denotes the trail. A detailed description appears. Scroll down to the bottom of the description and click "download GPX track". This can be used in a free navigation app like GAIA.) Have fun!
