Begin sitting with a right hand flat undercling, left hand pocket/crimp, and a high right smear. Two moves get you established on the start of Tarantula. Do the first few moves of that problem, and move right through underclings to finish on the Snowblind dyno.

Reachy, powerful moves on a steep overhang with few usuable features. Powerful compression moves to start, entering the crux almost immediately once you pull on the start crimps. Tarantula is nestled into the hillside and has an interesting walkable/climbable cave system underneath. Very fun. Very unique!

Mammoth is a large boulder hosting multiple lines of varying difficulties. Not a fun hike, but a very easy hike. Head towards Zanesville (river on your right) until you see a large boulder over the guardrail on the right. 

Sit start on the obvious crimp jug (same start as dirt bags and dragons) middle of the boulder, compress and move straight up to the sloper, top out.

Double jug start with good feet to a left hand horn, and from the one must use the vertical slot to stand up on the ledge and engage the crux. Easy slab to the top, which is a little heady. 

Climb the arete next to DynoWing on the Hallway boulder.

 Sit start, couple of bumps and some voodoo take you to the lip next to the tree. Good clean fun.

Yeah it’s roadside, but the hike down 146 still kinda sucks. But this boulder problem doesn’t! Well it’s not the best, but you’re in Zanesville climbing so chill and have fun.

Far right at the Lakeside set, in a hole, really close to the road. Also the home of a frequented geo cache.

The name says it all. Slip-N-Slide. Small holds, balancey moves and so much moss. Usually it’s green and actively growing moss. But once in a while, on a cool fall afternoon, after some careful brushing...it goes! 

Around the corner on the Tarantula Boulder. Start on the bottom left arete and move up and right to "The Rug". Just wipe your feet off or mom's gonna kill me!

Reach up to some incut holds facing the wrong way. Pull on and make big moves up the steep wall. Committing finish.

Creeky emerges from the creek below Taratula. Makes a great warm up and has a lot of variations. I like to start my day at the lakeside set at Creeky, followed up by Tarantula and work my way boulder to boulder back to the truck. 

In a hallway of doom and mosquitos a very unique problem lurks. The first visible boulders as you round the top of the hill from parking. 

Beautiful lakeside setting with surprisingly quality sandstone. Short, simple approach and volume of semi difficult moderates and a few hard lines. Try to keep party size and number of vehicles limited to avoid issues with the Rangers.
