The area in question has a firm rock bed (much was under water from heavy rain when pics were taken) Lots of loose rock that could be moved around to build what ever we like.    previous visiters built some resting places.  Peace !      |

The peace sign is what caught my attention on google earth... otherwise Im not sure we would have ever known about this spot. There are some other areas Brad didnt post that look even better in my opinion (however I have not seen them in person)

we only played in the "peace" area and had a hell of a good time. There is major tonage of rocks out there. We moved around a few rocks and setup some courses, Brad has the vid's we shot. We found some pretty cool lines. If we could get a few guys together we could move some of the really big slabs around and build some massive climbs and sidehills.
