The Udder Wall (hard to see through the trees)
The Project Roof - very pumpy
The Main Wall
Overview:
This multiarea crag has several routes that are worth the visit. Its worth a stop on your way to Krahlick or any other Dunbar destination. The Project Roof is visible from the road It's a project that I started working on last year, with a little luck it'll go this year. It will be a worthy ascent when completed. Stop by and give it a shot, who could pass up a 12' horizontal roof that starts with campus moves on thin holds. Its doable! The Udder wall hasn't seen very much action due to the difficulty of the routes. There is a nice left diagnoling crack thats worth a look. Scott Richards and Ron Edwards led it last year. The Main wall has several moderate routes that are of O.K. quality.

Getting There:
From Route 119 light, Turn left into Dunbar, Follow signs along Dunbar Creek towards Ohiopyle. At about 3/4 of a mile you break away from Dunbar Creek (on your right) follow up around the corner to a road that veers left (cow rock road) follow this up to a horse pen on your right. The horses are at the top of the rocks. This is the main wall. If you follow the road to where it turns to dirt and down around the corner you can look back and see the wall on your right. For the Udder Wall and Roof Project, instead of making the left onto Cow Rock Road, veer right and continue through the S turn passing by the large chunky rocks just a few feet off the road. Shortly after those rocks, you will see a cliff band form on the left about 40yrds off the road. Keep watching, you'll see the project roof. For the Udder wall continue down the road about 100yrds or so watching up into the woods on the left, you'll see the Udder Wall up in about 70yrds on your left.

Season:
People climb here all year round. The bugs can get bad in summer and fall, so bring insect repellant.
Camping:
Not much in the way of legal camping that is nearby.
