Landscape Narrative ? Above the cliff there are two virginia pine plots (GARI.65,66). Below the rock the community is a Quercus prinus / Rhododendron maximum forest. There is also a plot located near hers in that community (GARI.64).;Almost entirely bare sandstone rock wall. The nicest and possibly the largest observed in the park. There are several bolted climbing routes along the wall. The area is an estabished rock climbing area. The wall is covered with many uncollectable lichens of assorted colors. Many appear to be spray painted on the rock.
