The Forest Service manages the land, and the area sits about 0.3 miles from the Orange Wall and Haunted Wall climbing areas, which makes it an easy addition to a day spent exploring these close-by crags. The climbing here is all sport, and the route grades run from 5.6 up to 5.13+. The easiest route is Headless Turkeys at 5.6, and the hardest is The Crucible at 5.13+. Wolfsbane and Wendigo, both in the 5.12 range, sit in between, and Holey Ghost is a 5.10+ option. For timing, late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable.
