Drapers Bluff - Illinois Rock Climbing

Description

This is a privately owned crag. It is developed and maintained by the owner who is a climber himself. Please consider a donation at the Kiosk to help the owner with expenses.

There is a plentitude of trad, sport and mixed-pro climbs, one-pitch and multi-pitch routes, as well as bouldering. Height goes up to 120'; some climbs traverse to a second or third pitch, some go straight up. The property has been developed to include easy (5.5 - 5.8) sport and mixed-pro routes for beginning climbers, while ever-harder trad and sport routes, up to 13+, continue to be developed. The potential for bouldering is just beginning to be tapped by the local radicals; the boulders had been hidden by overgrowth for decades. There's a good supply of 10's, 11's and 12's, and some classic trad routes, from 5.7 to 5.11; mixed pro climbs from 5.8 to 5.13. Some routes can be TRd by accessing the top anchors via one of the access gulllies, or by climbing a route to a common ledge or the top.
