We’ve explored quite a few crags in our neighborhood, but I’m still curious about this one to the south that is not in our area guidebook. Armed with some beta from mountain project, Ann and I drive south to have a look. We find the crag I’m looking for, but even better, a couple who are a fount of information on the area. They show us the best way up the steep approach, then put us on a very nice 5.7 hand crack with some harder topropes next door. This keeps us happy, and by their report also keeps us out of big snake nest at the wall I was looking to hit.

Starting the approach

The perfect lieback, 5.8.
