Description 

A collection of short walls form 25 to 70 feet tall and one free standing pillar. Some of the walls can be linked together to create a multi pitch climb to the top of the cliff. There are some good routes here in this lesser visited section of Maryland heights, just beware some walls have loose rock and ledges can be bushy.

Getting There
