This all-season crag is particularly pleasant on sunny winter days and warm summer evenings. Pearly Gates features fun multipitch routes on top quality rock, similar in nature to sandstone. Recommended rack is 12 quickdraws, 2 long runners and a 60m rope (two ropes are needed to rap from some routes).
