Been climbing here for a few years now. It’s a nice 1 mile hike up about 800 feet to 60-80 climbs, some of which have been there for decades. Community is friendly and welcoming. Some climbs are top rope, bolted for sport, or can only be lead with trad gear so there’s wide variety and it ranges from 5.2-5.14. The classic climbs are the most crowded but I can always find something to have fun on. Watch out for rattle snakes and bees. Gates to the parking lot close at sundown (7pm in summer and 5 pm in winter). There’s a nice visitor center and bathroom with a ranger station as well along with nature info and outdoor activities

This is the trail for rock climbers. It starts off not far from the visitors center and lots of easier trails. This one is all business and quickly takes you up the East side of the gorge with outstanding views. When you get close to the top there are plenty of places that the rock climbers will belay from. There’s a sign indicating the trail is done and difficult terrain ahead. I free climbed to the top to take the pictures and struggled coming down without ropes as footing was covered in brush. I first climbed this as a young man in 1978 with experienced climbers who introduced me to the sport. Great climb, great memories. Amazing views

Great place to hike or climb; Trails and routes for beginners and veteran hikers and climbers. Its a beautiful place but its usually packed on weekends and holidays. Parking can be frustrating and the gates close at 5pm so keep that in mind if you're planning a day trip.
