Small area in downtown Eugene. Just up the street from Crux rock gym. All of the climbs can be toproped or lead trad. Most of the climbs are finger to hand cracks and fall in the 5.8 to 5.10 range and fairly short. A few thin face climbing routes and aretes. Area is nicely maintained with woodchips at base and a message board. Very popular on weekends and whenever the sun shines.
