Climbed with my Rockclimbing 1 class from OSU. Very fun and lots of variety of routes. Had to set up top ropes from top of columns, there is a walking trail up to top so that you don’t have to lead climb up. Great for experienced and beginner climbers

Great place. Love the surrounding are. People are friendly and helpful. Families enjoying spaces. Young people doing their thing but to themselves. Animals are polite as well... racoon couple are mindful... turkeys are a gobbling at the bottom of the hill... plenty of trails... just everyone please throw your trash away. What you bring, take away with you. Beautiful views and great historic markers. Love running straight up!

I don't climb but it's fun to watch people learning how to and putting in the effort to conquer their fears.

The columns are pretty cool. Enjoy watching rock climbers show off their skills.

Okay climbs, but can't beat that location. Wish the chain for the top rope set up reached over the lip of the rock. Bring runners for your anchors to avoid rope drag.

What a special place. I come here to run laps on the wide variety of crack climbs and eliminates. Perfect crag for top rope soloing.

There's some fun little climbs and parking is like 10 feet away. The rock is a bit crumbly and you have to be careful of some super loose holds.

Super fun place to climb with multiple grades for beginner to moderate skill levels

Best outdoor climbing for miles around. Remember pack it in, pack it out and pick up any light litter you see. Be cautious of bats while climbing, sometimes they chill in/around the cracks.

Cool spot for outdoor climbing. The pictures make it look bigger than it is in real life though.
