It sits among several other named climbing areas, including (h) Rubble Row, (d) Roof Area and (k) The Shield, all within about a tenth of a mile. The area is a cluster of sport routes, and the climbing here is all on the same style. The routes run from about 5.10a up to 5.13a, with the median grade around 5.11a. Among the named routes are Excuse Abuse at 5.10a, Burly Boogie at 5.13a, and Punk's Not Dead at 5.12b. The first ascents of many of these routes are credited to Louie Anderson. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 75°F and October highs around 82°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. For a change from the rock, the Jurupa Hills Hike is about 2.4 miles away, and Lytle Creek, a paddling spot, is about 8.2 miles off.
