The Untamed Rocks

The un-appreciated Untamed Rocks just north of Squaw Rock and South of Hopland off US101 in wild, uncharted, Mendocino County. About 5 climbs so far from 5.10-5.12 with more potential/projects! Most routes stay dry in the rain due to the huge blank overhanging headwalls (thus the name "Untamed") making it like an outdoor gym! Except this gym is natural and free :)


"The Shrew" aka "Shit Face" 5.10d/5.11a!? - slabby/vertical roadside sport climbing fun! 4 bolts + 2 bolt rap ring anchor.


Aron Quiter does "The Shrew" crux!
