Currently, access to Zen Pen is only possible due to the generosity of the VFW Post 7441. The owners of the VFW have informally allowed climbers to park and access their land in order to hike to the riverside area of Zen Pen. Make sure to park in the dirt/grass parking lot only. Parking on the asphalt is for customers of the VFW only. Additionally, various private properties immediately border the cove and riverside. Please be respectful, responsible, and mindful when being here.
One of the best of the grade and a personal favorite of many. This slab climbs unlike any other. Climb through the large crescent and when the holds disappear, you know what you need to do. Give this line bullet rock instead of Zen Pen sandy stone and it would be 4 stars in any book.
