Powerlinez Climbing
Rock Dojo Top-Rope
Mainly known as a bouldering sector, there are also some taller rocks with worthwhile top-rope climbs.
The Swath
The closest area to the trailhead. The "swath" is the zone where all the trees were cleared out to make way for the electric power line. The Top-Rope crags are out in the open, along with some bouldering rocks. Some more bouldering rocks in the lower trees. Climbers love it for the sunshine. So do the pricker/thorn bushes.
