Access Issue: Neighborhood Parking Details

Please be mindful of the neighbors on Big Rock Lake Road. Do not park along the road, generate excessive noise in the parking lot or at the cliff, or camp out. If the parking is full, use the spot at the intersection of Preston McDaniel and Nine Times Roads. This is a neighborhood, drive slow and be courteous. Violating one of these rules is an easy way to get the cliff shutdown for everyone.

Description

Climb the obvious arching flake past two bolts then up onto the easier face past two more bolts to the anchor. Really a fun route for the grade.

This can be climbed as a pure Sport route but the bolts are oddly placed so it feels better with some trad gear if you're new at the grade. You can place a #3 in the crack between bolts 1 & 2. It's pretty easy climbing past bolt 3. There's a weird slab move you have to do before you can clip bolt 5. Look for a #2 placement on the left to feel better about it or if the feet are wet. Make the slab move crux after clipping bolt 5 and run it to the anchor

There is an anchor on top of the next smaller ledge at the start that you can anchor your belayer too if desired. Also be careful when on the ledge to not kick anything off as it will fall down on anyone climbing S-Crack
