Description:

The twin columns are quite steep and offer some exciting variations in addition to the obvious lines up. The right and left columns are separated by a large rock buttress between them. The right column forms just around the left corner of sun wall. The left column is located at the far right edge of the playground. The buttress between the columns offers some fun thin to mixed routes that are mostly top roped. The top ropes can be easily accessed by walking around to the right of the sun wall and following the obvious trail up to the top. There is room for a few ropes to be set up. This area can be quite busy on weekends.
