Details
Much of the surrounding area is private property with public trail access, but GLR was donated to IRLC back in the early 2000's which gives it free reign in terms of public access to hunting, as well as climbing.
Description
A small but diverse area with some short and steep boulders and low angle slabs. This area has some potential for a few very hard boulders. High rock quality with some south facing sections allow it to stay relatively clean compared to some other zones. Sun exposure is direct so it may be wise to try coming here on colder days. Otherwise beautiful and hidden area with some good potential for hard lines.
Getting There
Taking the small hill up past "The Bowling Alley", cut left into the woods at the top of the hill. Cross the small stream at a convenient spot and walk another 100 yards toward a small outcrop of rock. Follow the small cliffline, past the low angle slabs, around the backside where you will find the bulk of the hard boulders. There is a small animal trail that leads directly to those boulders, if you find that trail you're on the right track.
