Description

Shorter routes on grey and yellowish rock, some with overhanging starts. Most routes start on a band of rock a little above the canyon.

Access issues inherited from Homestead

The area between gate 2 and 3 is private land, please behave respectfully!

Approach

Follow the canyon and take the second well marked path up to the left. Follow the cliff along some hand-rail ropes. You might also access the sector from above using the upper approach trail and the gully between Finland Terrace and Slate Nation.

Ethic inherited from Homestead

When visiting and climbing at the Homestead, please help to maintain the climber trails used to access the climbing and along the base of the walls. Do a little bit of work each time you come and before you know it there will be well-defined and easy to maneuver and follow trails for all to benefit from.

If you choose to add routes to the area, please do your part to continue the Homestead tradition and use good hardware when equipping your routes. Plan your bolt placements to use solid sections of rock and to allow for minimal rope drag. All routes should have lowering anchors at the end of the routes and dangerously loose rock should be removed from the routes. To date there has been no chipping or gluing at the crag. Please keep it that way.

Thanks to Louie Anderson for providing all the info!!
