Crag features
Trad climbing. Nuts and friends fit in everywhere you may need protection. The crag faces south and is about 40m high, most of the routes are 30m.
Good topo here:

The crag has some of the best easy to moderate climbing in the city area, generally routes up to 5.10 are well protected though beware of sandbagged grades (most routes should have a grade added). After 5.10 routes often become very bold. There are still plenty of new lines up for grabs especially arete or buttress lines that were unprotectable before modern small gear.
Approach notes
Park either at the obvious large gravel parking lot near the trees or at the end of the road near the river and cross the river on foot over a makeshift footbridge. Walk along the track to the base of the slope beneath the cliffs and follow an obvious footpath up to the base of the cliff.
