Notes:

Potpourri of bouldering, craglets, topropes, and exploring in forested river canyon. Stacked cliffs between benches offer climbers pseudo-multipitch routes as they proceed up large hillside. Some areas within canyon are on private land. Please respect private land by staying off. Ticks bad in spring.
