I'm headng down to Backbone State Park at the beginning of June and was wondering if anyone had some advice for the area. Definetly be a weekend trip and top-roping only. Don't have enough gear/experience to do leading.

One member of our party has been there once before, but the rest of us haven't. Weather has cancelled our past two trips down there with the one person I climb with that knows the place. He's unfortunately left for higher ground (i.e. - Colorado).

I know of the routes listed here, but if anyone else can throw anything out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Here is a little map I drew up:

Just hike around find some rock that you think you can climb then setup up your ropes.
Have fun!
