Carderock is a cliff band that lies in a peaceful hardwood forest setting just outside of Washington D.C. along the east side of the Patomac River. The setting is beautiful and pleasant for climbing or just spectating. Routes are all toproped using tree anchors above the cliff line. To reach the base of the wall scramble down to the gully to the trail that skirts along the river. Cripple’s Crack Area is located on the Hades Heights section downstream from the descent gully. It is next to Nubble Face and offers some challenging routes.
