To the Boneyards.

Description 

A popular spot for tourists, there are a few excellent classics in the Boneyards, including one of the most difficult established problems in the Midwest, the sit-down start to Left Of Lloyds, named "The Sporting Life" (V12). Other classics include Nanhole (V1), Spider Tracks (V3) and a handful of other nice easier problems.


Getting There 

Walk from the Park Office down towards the river. Pass The Pit (immediately at left from the ramp/path to the river) and Tourist Rocks (immediately right of the ramp/path), and then walk left past the Sizzlefoot Area. Walk straight, another 50 feet, up a few stairs, and into the Boneyards.

At the left of the pine tree at the entrance is Left of Left of Lloyd's. This small section of the wall hosts most of the hard routes.

This climb additionally has the potential of you slipping into an unpleasent algae-laden pool. This climb is included for historical purposes.
