Description
After an easy walk about 15 minutes passing some very nice boulders, and rounding a gentle bend in the old road Alberton Rock appears 50 feet tall in height. Alberton Rock is an excellent place to take beginners climbing offering many easy to intermediate climbs. To the right of the crags main feature a large 6-foot roof, there are several routes in the 5.2 to 5.7 range climbing through horizontal ledges. The areas hardest climb would be to directly pull over the very center of the large roof at about 5.11
Important Notes:
Top-Systems need to be extra long here as the trees are set way back. we're talking upwards towards 65 feet for a few of the climbs. Also beware copper head snakes have been seen here, particularly at the top of the cliff.
