While most climb around the observation tower area, there are lots of good problems lower on the mountain. The problems are very secluded, most days I don't see anyone besides the park ranger on my way in. The rock is Quartzite and quite nice, with a variety of holds from sweet jugs to very thin crimps. The rock is also quite strong. Since it is on the side of a mountain some of the landings are a little sketchy (slanted downward and rocky) so a pad is a must in my opinion. If you park at the ranger station simply walk away from the ski runs/chalets through the forest and you will find problems interspersed throughout. You can slog through the forest or take the road toward the observation tower and just break off to your left whenever you see some good boulders. If you are around the large reddish vertical slab you are in the vicinity of some good problems.
Scattered problems worth checking out. Mostly easier and not as clean, due to lack of traffic. Good place for beginners to go and kick around. Driving west past the park headquarter, park near top of chair-lift by the fork in the road. Look across the road for rock band. Ok problems here but better problems are scattered in the woods to the south-east.
One nice boulder with a cool roof. Second overlook on the north side of the road, right as you enter the big parking lot. Take trail on the left side of the overlook, and the trail run right into the boulder in about a hundred feet, just as the trail turns east into the woods.
