Lizard's Hangout has been a popular toprope area for years.
This is a small area, so if there's a group here share or chose to go elsewhere.
Positives
- Close to road
- Sunny in afternoon during winter
- Climbs are fun, challenging, shot, and non-committing
- The base is flat desert and makes for a good hangout
- Climbs are close together
