The crag is a small, compact spot with two bouldering routes, both rated V1-2 and V3- on the V scale. Sketchverse and Crumble Crack are the named routes, and both are boulders. The area is best suited to climbers looking for short, low-commitment problems rather than long routes. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall.

Slab Wall and the Edna Mae Bennet Nature Trail are both about 0.1 mile away, and the Palmer Point Trail for mountain biking is just as close.
