Decent climbing, but not really. It’s great for the area! But, keep in mind that the area is terrible.Don’t expect good climbing here. The rock is sharp, greasy, and prone to crumbling. Most things are reachy and don’t flow, but once you accept that it’s alright. Come with a good crew and it makes it all the more manageable.

Great spot right in the middle of a residential area. Lots of problems and friendly people around either enjoying the view or getting a workout in.

Mortar Rock park is just around the corner from Indian Rock. Parking is difficult on days when visitors are exploring the pocket parks in the neighborhood. Mortar Rock has become a favorite of the rock climbing community. If you are there on a day when there are no climbers practicing their moves and holds, you can see the chalk their hands leave behind. In winter, the rocks look like an Irish fairy land draped in thick green moss.

Nice quiet and casual. Despite all the traffic, its very clean and well maintained. Best hard bouldering in the area but just a few steps away from fun easy and moderate bouldering. Not much there if you dont climb.
