Let's go clean off those dirty cracks! If you don't know it,
Cowbell Crag is a lovely cliff full of inviting cracks just north of
the HWY 40/940 junction. While the approach is about 5
minutes, this site is nonetheless usually peaceful with the main
traffic on the road being the occasional motorcycle. We can set
up some TRs and you can practice climbing, gear placement,
mock-leading and leading according to your taste. If you've
never placed pro before, we will cover the basics.
