| Access Issues: | Stay on designated trails... This area was closed down at one point due to concerns over the erosion created by climbers not approaching on on designated trails. There are apparently endangered plants in the area. Rangers have asked climbers to limit bolting/loud music to weekdays due to complaints by hikers. Dogs are allowed on the trails, but not on the cliff. |
