About Eagle River:

Though the rock in the area is generally chossy, there are some good boulder problems and small to medium crags to be found. Protection in the area is mostly trad, so be prepared to bring a selection of gear, and don't expect all your placements to be bomber. One generally has to have local knowledge of the area to avoid a tiring bushwhack to the areas though, so find a local climber or head to a couple of the easier areas before looking for the hidden gems.
Nearest town or city: Eagle River
Directions: Head north from Anchorage for ten miles on the Glenn Highway to the Hiland Road/Eagle River Loop Road exit (just past the Hans Roelle Weigh Station) and exit to the east. Hiland Road (access to the South Fork of Eagle River) is your first right, or follow the Loop Road down and over the bridge and up the hill to Eagle River Road for access to the Mile High Saddle area and rocks further up the valley.
