Essential crag checks
Access, closures, permits & safety
From US 50 take Missouri Flat Road toward Pleasant Valley Road and Bucks Bar Road. The established trail starts at the roadside guardrail and descends to the main climbing area in roughly ten minutes.
The guide identifies a roadside turnout just before Bucks Bar Circle. If you reach that junction you have passed the approach; use permitted turnout space and keep the travel lane and property entrances unobstructed.

About this crag
The water-worn granite can feel smooth, and descents vary between formations. Choose the actual wall and descent instead of assuming every route can be lowered from the same anchors.
Recommended equipment
Bring equipment appropriate to the climbing style and local conditions. A helmet is strongly recommended.
