Start with a low offwidth crack up to a small ledge. Traverse far left, using 2 or 3 small holes. Use the right facing flake to get up to a series of small, slightly overhung, ledges including a dynamic leap. Follow the features up to the anchor.

A spectacular overhanging lieback. Start by scrambling up to a ledge about 15 ft up. Follow the finger crack as it gradually becomes overhung, until reaching the top. A challenging variation continues right once reaching the top, and requires a pro placement just before sending the roof (5.10b).

The first half of the climb is much more featured than the higher section. After a small ledge the route gets significantly harder. The flat vertical slab forces you to use crimpy handholds and friction for your feet.

An overhanging start off the ground using big jugs leads you to a small ledge. Following the arête and using some features on the face, make your way up the vertical rock to a large ledge and man-made railing post.

Begin by climbing an offwidth crack to a sloping ledge. Either make a small traverse left and up over a small overhang to another sloping ledge (5.8), or as a variation follow the crack straight up and over the overhang to the ledge (5.10a). From here move onto the face and up to an overhanging block at the top.

Two variations are possible on this very wide crack. Either use both sides of the crack to chimney your way up (5.9+), or keep to the left side of the crack with a challenging lieback (5.10d). Great features on both faces at either side also.

An awkward start on a near vertical offwidth crack. Climbing becomes easier as the crack widens, and good features lead to the 1st of two large ledges.  Not far above is the 2nd ledge, and from here youll need to move right onto the face until you reach a sloping ramp. Follow the easy ramp to the anchor.

A good number of climbs if you search around the whole crag. No bolts due to the restrictions of the state park. Top ropes can be easily set, and leads are rather hard to protect due to the type of rock. Be sure to check the postings on the bulletin board at the trailhead for climbing/rappelling restrictions in some areas of the overlook. Tons of good bouldering also on the hillside below the crag.
