I was very impressed by this small crag. It has routes ranging in difficulty from 5.5 to 5.10+ and maybe even some 5.11. It is a great place to take a beginner, as you can walk to the top and set up topropes, and there are bolts everywhere. By this I mean that there are bolts to anchor yourself to while you are belaying, and on some routes there are bolts every three feet, making it a great place to do a first lead. I highly reccomend this place for any time that you wanna get some cragging in but don't want to drive for 3 hours.

This place is pretty cool, but beware in the summer. It's hotter than hell in the middle of the day and you're feet just fry in the hot climbing shoes. I'd recommend rappeling from most of the routes, because there usually is a bulge at the top and you can scratch up your rope pretty good. One of the routes at the beginning has all these grooves in it from the rope pressing in it so hard. So yeah bring lots of water, wear suncreen, and rappel. This place is still awesome.
