Description Suggestion
This is a great sport climbing and TR crag with easy access and a great assortment of climbs from 5.4 to 5.12c. This area is broken into three crags, the AAA Wall which has most of the classic routes (#1-18), Buds Wall which was the original TR area just up the road, and Secret Crag with it's stout little climbs about a 2 miles away.  There is no camping or fires permitted.  Please make sure to park off the road so any traffic can easily pass. The town of Big Bay is about 15 minutes away, just up CR 550 a little more passed the turn to AAA and it has two nice bars with decent food and Crams Gas Station and General Store. All in all the AAA wall is an amazing little sport climbing area with a diverse variety of climbs and great access. Please tread lightly and pack out whatever you packed in.

It costs the Upper Peninsula Climbers Coalition about $700 a year to purchase liability insurance to maintain access to AAA per an agreement with a local timber company .  If you've ever climbed here and enjoyed it, please think about donating to the UPCC to help keep this jem of a crag open for years to come.

Getting There Suggestion
Head North on CR 550 toward Big Bay. Take a left onto CR 510, and reset your trip. Follow mileage closely, because it's easy to get lost due to there not being any signage at your next turn.  Stay on Cr 510 for 3.3 miles.  At which time CR 510 turns into the AAA rd at an intersection just before a long land bridge with guard rail. Shortly after the long land bridge, start looking for you next turn after a short guard rail. Take this slight right dirt road for .3 miles and hang another right on a white gravel road. The road starts to curve left to a large gate, stay straight onto a small sandy two track.  You'll come to a fork almost immediately, stay left and withing 50 yds you'll see the rock on the right.  Park mindfully so as not to block traffic and leave enough room for others to park and turn around.
