It sits within the recreation area's land, which is managed by the NPS, and a fee is charged for access. The park's climbing is all bouldering. Three routes are listed: L'Chaim (V0+), Shabbat (V2+) and Shalom (V3). The grades are on the V scale, and the routes run from the easy V0+ to the V3, so they suit climbers of different experience levels. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons to visit.
