Climbing Near Toledo, Ohio

Some shade in the morning, sun in the afternoon. Difficult or impossible to reach the base when rainfall is high due to the lower basin flooding, but could rappel down and top belay a climber back up. Lots of ledges, bolts are installed at the top of the cliff (bring a static line for anchor building). Park in the Sawyer Quarry nature preserve parking lot, go around the right of the bigger house (lighter colored house), and take the stairs down into the quarry, walk across the quarry and use trails along the right to get to the top of the cliff. When the basin isn't flooded, you can also walk to the bottom of the cliff.

Bouldering area on west side of quarry. Walk down the stairs and proceed either around to the west side on the top shelf of quarry stone or descend and walk the short trail from the east bouldering wall to the west side.

50m section of rock directly across from metal stairs. This section of rock has a variety of easy and moderate boulder problems. Orientation of the wall means that it gets little morning and afternoon sun in the fall and spring so rock may remain cold and wet throughout the day. Summer conditions can be brutally hot in the bottom of the quarry so make sure to bring water and adequate sun protection Register at the kiosk in the parking lot and head east around the house. Follow the gravel and mulch trail until you find the metal stairs that descend into the quarry. From there walk north until you find a small slope by the pond. Be careful to avoid stepping in the pond and damaging any of the local vegetation.
