Description
[Edit]All but forgotten, this quiet crag has some interesting mixed, trad, and sport climbing. The routes are short. The base of the routes is a nice spot for kids or dogs to run around. Shade varies by season and time of day. The wall faces a number of directions, mostly south and west. One can climb here all year round.
The style of climbing is fun, wacky, sequency, and engaging. Some of the routes are short enough to stick-clip the whole thing, and many can be accessed from above relatively easily if you get shutdown on lead. This is a great place to test your onsighting skills if you are a hard 5.11 climber. Lots of hidden holds and technical moves. It's obviously not world-class climbing by any means, but certainly worth a visit.
As of Dec 2016, all of the anchors have been replaced with modern hardware and in most cases steel lowering biners.
