I was here back in 2005, but from reading the comments it looks like the home page could use some updating. e.g.: roadside parking is now closed, ? are wavers now signed off at the golf-course parking??, there's a trail from parking to the cliff.

Is it possible to sort Leda by area? Mountain project has Leda, Upper Leda, and a Leda Shade Wall. Many guide books split out a Left Leda as well. This would require some significant re-org on the site, but curious if this is possible?

Also any clue where Shade Wall is? Would love to put eyes on it for some easy trad mixed in with the great sport here.

Background and Resources Suggestion

The history of climbing at Leda is not well documented, and little first-ascent information is recorded in any known guides.


For years, the only guide to the place was some photocopied pages that referred to the routes by letters of the alphabet. The more recently published Dixie Cragger's Atlas shows the routes by their actual names; this is mostly based on a handwritten guide by Matt Sims. If you can find it, Micah Gentry's PDF guide was a reliable source of information on both Leda and Lower Leda, but internet links to it are no longer valid. The Chatt Steel North guidebook includes Leda, but with a number of inaccuracies.


[[Rocker Press]]108125624 offers a more up to date full Leda guide for purchase as well as a free day guide from their website, [[here.]]http://www.rockerypress.com/free-day-guides/sport-climbing-day-guides/leda/
