Parking Area Wall
About Parking Area Wall:
At the first widening of the road into Franklin (about 1/2 mi. beyond the bridge), there is a low beach to the left and a wall above you in the trees to your right, with a red-gated road to the L of the wall.
Limestoned is the bolted arete/face route furthest to the left, beyond the small cave housing the starts of Wild, Wild West and Route of All Evil. Lunar Debris, Odysseus, and Two blind Mice come next, in order, L to R. Squeal Like A Pig is the last route to the right. the trailhead for the entire crag begins here, as well. Please DO NOT BLOCK TO GATE. Pull well off the road to park, and carpool if possible to minimize traffic and maximize space. Be considerate of other users and local traffic. |
