January 18,2020. 29deg. w KB. Parked at pullout along Holloway Mt Rd. Short approach to climbing rocks. Routes observed were short, no more than 30-40ft. All levels of difficulty. Some routes were bolted. Some were dirty. Most were cracks, but some were slabs. There was a path to the top to set anchors to the right of the climbs.

January 19, 2020. 29 deg. Sleet threatening. w KB. Started from Holloway Mt Rd parking Area. Recon hike to verify if this section of Tanawah Tr will support XC Skiing. Looks like it will, as it is a wide, somewhat groomed trail through the woods and rhodies. The trail peters out mid-way across an open area. If you continue on along the cowpath for another 1/4mi, you’ll reach the BRP. This is also where Cold Prong Creek crosses the BRP and there is supposed to be an interesting wetlands around there.
