Description

South facing, shaded by trees, and with some of the steepest rock at the hollow.

Getting There

Either follow the main trail up to the cliff base and then walk right for 10-15 minutes, passing a large,,low angle slab and scramble to the cliff’s top before reaching the PHAR end. Or stay on the Atv trail up hill for about 7 minutes, through a stone wall and purple blazes, up hilL a bit further. When the trail flattens out and begins to descend slightly go left into the woods (@ 90 degrees to the trail) down to a wet lowland, then up a hill to cliff base. On the right side is a low and long roof about 12 -15 feet high, capped by a 30 foot slab. To the left are the steep routes.

[Hide Comment] Any word on the overhanging aid seams here or the fixed line on the steep overhang? Mar 20, 2021

[Hide Comment] Hey Eli, fixed rope is gone. That was my trash working a line solo...aid seems await a free send as far as I know. The two bolted lines to the right are quality,, worth a burn if you are up. I live just up the road and am happy to meet if you are ever in the hood. Also, though closed for bird nesting now, a grand 10+ got put up last fall on the main wall. 2 solid and steep pitches. Mar 20, 2021

[Hide Comment] I climbed the bolted lines to the right last year and had fun with them! Did you finish the line you were working or does it need to be cleaned up? It looked fun but I imagine microtraxing in that cave was a damn nightmare. Mar 21, 2021
