Echo Cove is basically made up of three sections. The left and right sides of the cove itself,
than the outside (south) face of the cove. Echo encompasses many routes and you can always find shade or sun. Study the area in one of the guidebooks as there are climbs of all ratings, and many different types of climbs. Many can be set up as topropes, although many things need to be led or have awkward anchors up top.
