A snowy end to a fantastic season! We had so much fun hosting and climbing with all of you. We already can’t wait for next year!

This winter we will be working on replacing our existing tent platforms with brand new ones. Unfortunately, that means no winter camping here this year. But we promise, it will be worth it when you come see our progress in the spring!

Happy climbing, y’all!

Don’t forget to stop and chat with our climbing stewards, Natalie and Elam, on your way to the crag! They have tons of knowledge about all things climbing: access, conservation, and how to get involved with NRAC (our local climbing organization). Be sure to drink the coffee so Elam doesn’t drink it all herself!!
