Howdy All,
I was at the hot springs hiking into the canyon to the west of the spring last winter and saw some bolts on a face. Didn't bring any climbing stuff at all so I have no idea how hard of a route it was etc. Made me want to bring sport and trad gear back there this winter. Anyone know anything about the climbs back there. I am going to be with a group of people most of which have no desire to adventure climb things there is no beta on... I on the other hand will give it a go. Any beta would be much appreciated. Thanks,

Oh man I wish the hot springs were that close to the crags :) The spot is literally in the canyon a km or so west of Benton Hot springs. Roughly here ish https://goo.gl/maps/mhfV3c2t2oSdWtnG9 The faces aren't super tall, but it might be real fun between tub soaks to get some cold granite in my fingernails... once the cast is off of course:)
