It sits among a cluster of climbing and hiking spots, with Hidden Cracks - LEFT Sector just 0.1 mile away and Lower Hidden at 0.4 mile. The area is a single route, The Flower Sermon, a trad climb rated 5.13d. It was first ascended by Mike Farnsworth. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Dale Enterprise run to highs around 73°F in May and 78°F in September, with July the warmest month at about 86°F. That station sits roughly 380 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Hone Quarry Campground is 1.2 miles away, and Todd Lake Campground is about 7.5 miles off. The Hone Quarry Ridge Trail and Rocky Run Trail are both within half a mile.
