Description
This a new crag with some ongoing development. As such, there are still a number of fixed lines about. Please be respectful and avoid the red tagged lines. This area is highlighted with a large amphitheater with several good lines already open and a couple more that are still being developed. Around the corner, left of the main cave is a shorter wall with a fair number of moderates of decent, if not overly spectacular quality.
Getting There
This crag is best approached by taking the trail that is midway down the Lode Hill, just downhill of the obvious pocketed wall. Continue past the Unlode on the logging trail and at the end it will gradually cut up the hill to right. As you come over the top of the hill you will see a large amphitheater. The line directly in front of the trail is Hippie Core Drill Machine. To get to the moderates walk left around the cave and turn the corner to the right to find the wall.
Alternatively, you can walk in from the trail at the back of the large Lode parking lot, that is the right of the new Lode/Bears Den trail. Take this trail to just before you cross the stream, and cut sharply right back up a trail that heads up the hill that is on your right as you walk in. Once at the top, this trail joins an old logging road where you cut back left. A few minute walk from here will put you in view of the amphitheater of South Park.
