Rock and the Area: The rock is Dolomite limestone. The rock is very solid, yet loose blocks and flakes do exist. Please remove tick marks, and brush out overly chalked holds. The chalk sticks out on the blue Dolomite- please keep impacts to a minimum. Wire brushes will polish the rock, so use plastic. Some routes could use extra cleaning (consult Greg). Locals are friendly, yet have little clue as to what you are doing. Access to the area could be easily denied if problems arrive. Ask Greg Martin for a trash bag or other project to help the park. A journal is kept to show the positive impact on the area by climbers. Top roping is acceptable. Please do not get hurt. There is an indoor gym at the park also, it is equally unique. Climbers can visit the wall (Illusions) at no charge if Greg is around.
Please, try to keep the screams down at Strawberry Fields. There are homeowners directly above and they are letting us use the area.
WARNING: CLIMBING IS A DANGEROUS SPORT WHERE YOU MAY BECOME PERMANENTLY INJURED OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCE OF DEATH! This guide is merely a personal interpretation of a multifaceted reality in which my metaprogramer may or may not be a good editor. You are responsible for yourself, your own actions, and your own interpretation of the rock at the Muscatatuck Park. Your safety depends on your own judgment and a honest appraisal of your own skills and the inherent level of dangerousness you are subjecting your self to. Bouldering is very dangerous, even at low levels. if you have not achieved a high level of proficiency in climbing then pushing the levels of dangerousness will probably have drastic, highly undesirable results. Do not fool yourself. Pads and spotters should be used. Top roping is suggested in many cases.
There is no guarantee that the information in this guide is accurate. Although I have tried to be as factual and accurate as possible, there is no warranty that any or all of the information is reliable. Be your own metaprogramer, be safe and have fun.
