It sits among a cluster of other climbing areas, including Waves in Motion Area, Boat Rock and Glove Area, all within about a tenth of a mile. The name Easy Crack points to the bouldering that dominates the site, with 23 boulder problems and only three trad routes among the 26 routes listed. The bouldering here runs from the low end of the V scale, with Easy Crack at V0- and Easy Crack Traverse at V1, up to Samsara at V8. The trad routes are rated in the 5.9+ to 5.11+ range. The area is best suited to climbers who enjoy bouldering, with a range of grades to choose from. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Atlanta show October highs around 75°F with lows near 51°F, while July highs reach about 90°F.
