Good To Visit
I would not drive all the way their just to climb. We go every year to Johnson shutinns state park. Swimming, camping, hiking, and we bring the crash pads to slip off and work on some routes. Great place to kill 3 or 4 hrs on the rock.
Great Spot
Great spot to hang out and explore a little bit. The boulders are great and climbing here is pretty fun.
Fun Afternoon
We take our group of students here every summer. It's always a hit, even (especially) for those who aren't outdoorsy.
