Rock, from the geologic map
Post-Piney Creek and Piney Creek Alluvium. Holocene, younger than 12,000 years.
Gravel, sand, silt, and clay of modern stream flood plains and slightly older low terraces less than 6.1 m above stream level. Deposits of Bear Creek, Clear Creek, and Boulder Creek, and South Platte River are coarse, cobbly gravel near the Mountain front; decrease in grain size downstream. In streams east of the South Platte River, deposits are mainly sand. Sand, silt, and clay compose the deposits in small streams and tributaries. Thickness generally less than 6 m. Minor source of sound aggregate.
This is the map unit under this crag's map point, read from the 1:100,000 sheet (Trimble and others, 2003, U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Investigations Series I-856-H). The point can be a few hundred metres from the rock, a cliff often stands on the line between two units, and at that scale a line on the map is about 100 m wide on the ground, so the wall itself may be the neighbouring unit. Every crag on this unit: Post-Piney Creek and Piney Creek Alluvium. Geology data: Macrostrat (CC BY 4.0), serving USGS and Colorado Geological Survey maps.

Access & safety
The map point for this crag is on land managed by City of Aurora (local government), in Larkspur Neighborhood Park. It lies inside local park.
The boundary is close. Land managed by Private or CITY OF AURORA/TALLYN'S REACH METRO DIST #1 comes within 250 m of this point, and the point is not the rock — the wall itself may be on the other side of the line. Check which before you rely on either one's rules.
Land manager from USGS PAD-US (public domain), read 2026-09-29. It is the manager of the crag's map point, which can be a long way from the wall. What you may do on the rock is the manager's to say, not ours.
Nobody has yet read City of Aurora's own rules for this crag and written them down here, so treat the above as where you are, not as what you may do.

Distances are a straight line from this crag's map point, which can itself be hundreds of metres off; a road may be much longer. Mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), so a toilet missing here may simply be unmapped. Parking here is what OSM has drawn nearby, not a guidebook's directions.
