Description

A small area by Shanty Hollow Lake. Most of the rock can be found on the way to the waterfall, the main attraction of the place. There are a few boulders worth hoping on and some potential worth cleaning and putting on the map. There are also several bolted sport climbs, but as far as I know nothing is documented about them. If you come to climb, be willing deal with chossy, friable rock and mossy routes.

Getting There

Go to the boat ramp at Shanty Hollow Lake and park in the parking lot. The trail head is at the end of the parking lot. Follow the trail and look to the right for large rock faces. There will be many boulders on your right before you get to the large rock faces that have the sport routes.
