Here's the exact directions from Marquette since both this thread and mountain project are vague: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Marquette,+MI&daddr=46.778565,-87.778884&hl=en&sll=46.778525,-87.778535&sspn=0.002921,0.008213&geocode=FX9CxgId9XLK-imFtkbEXd9RTTEax1pMrUo2kQ%3BFcXIyQIdvJnE-g&oq=Marquette,+MI&t=h&mra=ls&z=11 Take County Rd 550 North out of Marquette until you hit County Rd 510. (22 miles) Take a left on County Rd 510 and it is 3.1 miles to AAA Rd. Take a right on AAA Rd for 1.2 miles until a fork. Take a right at this 1st fork and go .3 miles until a 2nd fork, stay right (on the left you will pass a locked gate) You will immediately come to a 3rd fork, go left, and you will see the crag on your right. Pull up to the right and park where the rock becomes parallel to the road and you'll be looking at Carbo Boy area which is climber's right of the scree. The road off of AAA Rd is very sandy, but good enough for even small cars to get through. There is also logging activity along the road, but I wasn't hassled at all. There are 9 Sport Routes total as of 05/2012. These are my opinions on grades relative to each other. I did not climb Protein Boy or Finger Licken/Satan's Camaro, but I just wanted to try and put all the info together in one place because it was a little confusing. I'm assuming there are some top roping opportunities around the corner from Flying Gumbies, but I did not inspect this. From left to right Left of the Scree: Rope Dragger or Trad 30ft (Trad) Greg's Sonic Boom 5.7 3 Bolts 30ft Gobble Gobble 5.8 4 Bolts 35ft Unnamed? Trad line 35ft (Trad) Unnamed? 5.9+ 3 Bolts 30ft Right of the Scree: Fine Wine 5.10a 5 Bolts 45ft Cheese and Crackers 5.7 5 Bolts 50ft Carbo Boy 5.10d 5 bolts 40ft Protein Boy 5.11a 5 bolts 40 ft Finger Licken (also named) Satan's Camaro 5.11d/5.12 5 bolts 40ft Flying Gumbies 5.10c 5 bolts 40ft
