Indian Springs is a fun
little crag and there is a lot of variety from face to crack
climbs. The guide describes
traditional, sport and top rope climbs. It is a great area
for beginner to intermediate climbers.
If you are a new trad
leader there are short moderate climbs to polish your new trad
skills. Some of the trad climbs can be top roped so you can
practice placing pro and then have your instructor check your
placements. Once you are ready for your first trad lead your
choices are 5.3 to 5.7+ climbs.
If you are looking to
venture out of the rock gym to get outdoors, there are many top
rope climbs at Indian Springs. A couple of the slabs have a high
concentration of climbs with easy access to
the bolt anchors to set
top ropes. You can easily spend the entire day top roping
climbs at Indian
Springs.
There are 5.9 to 5.11
sport climbs in the area which are fun for intermediate
climbers. The sport climbs are anywhere from 60' to 90' high and
the majority of them can be top roped first if you want to get a
feel for the climb before you lead.
