Enola Hill Crag is better than dandelions

 Still find yourself mowing your grand 1-acre estate every five days this fine hot summer? Is life starting to seem overwhelming like one great big yellow dandelion? There are better things to do with your time in the summer months . . . Like a find day of rock climbing at Enola Hill Crag (the Swinery). Yep, the gravel road is much better (it was enhanced last year) and though a bit bumpy in spots, its easily drivable with any AWD vehicle, and virtually any 2WD car. The crag is a little local favored gem.

What's it got that makes it good?

  • Cooling gentle breezes ALWAYS waft uphill to keep the crag comfortable all summer long.
  • Its a shaded crag (nice in summer).
  • The 'path' is in good condition (the entire loop).
  • New climbs keep getting developed there.
  • And it's far less crowded than French's Dome!
  • It's no further a drive than French's either!
  • Power routes kicking into the 5.11 and 5.12 range.
  • Easier routes from 5.8 to 5.10 too.

What's holding you back from visiting Enola crag today?

  • Another lawn mowing session?
  • City lights?
  • Broughton (dude I hope not!)?
  • Fear itself?

One word, one reason that certainly captivates that little ideal favored crag known as Enola (the Swinery):  QUALITY

Time to go tackle that greasy little Swinery pig and climb on!
