This is a very common beginner's climb at Great Falls. Climb the dihedral and be on the lookout for finger locks in the corner. I've watched numerous newbies get a bit frustrated on this - somewhat technical - moderate. So if you're introducing somebody who's completely new to climbing think about some of the more straight-forward, ladder-like, climbing to the left as a warm up. Beware that excessive rain can swell the Potomac and flood this area. For more information see the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club's "Climber's Guide to the Great Falls of the Potomac."

Start 25 feet to right of Sand Box Corner at the base of a sloped inside corner. climb the dihedral.

Start 3 ft left of Sand box corner. Climb the crack in the face to easy ground above.

Start 20 feet to the right of Sand Box Corner - climb the arete.

Exit the wall up and right through the overhanging scoop to top.

Climb the face between Sand Box Corner and the Sand Box Crack.

Start 30 ft left of Sand Box corner at a long diagonal crack. Climb the cracks.

Star at a sitout to the left of the overhang, traverse right and bear hug the V shaped protrusion in the rock.  finish is to the right.

Start 35 feet to the right of sand box corner at scooped hollow in rock wall. Climb the scoops and exit to the left.

Start 3 feet to the right of Sand Box Corner - climb straight up the face through the "pockmark".

A short, simple, climb. Good for a warm up to other climbs.  The start might be covered in vegetation during the summer. Make your way up and to the left where there is a small ledge. From there climb up the small dihedral to the top.

This is a nice secluded area that offers a classic 5.4 that everyone in the area has been taught on.
