It sits among several other climbing spots, including Energy Crag and The Pass, and the Dedisse Park Trail starts about 0.1 mile away. The area has six bouldering routes, all rated on the V scale from V0 to V10. The easiest is Pachydermous at V0, and the hardest is Huge Man at V10. Small Mammal is V5, and Elephant's Trunk is V5+. The Pass and Energy Crag are both within a tenth of a mile. Summer is the warmest stretch for a visit.
