Closed to climbing, Feb 1 - Aug 31 MORE INFO >>>

Description 

Barnum is a nice rock high on the mountain with a reasonably short approach and a number of easy but fun routes. Most of the routes are bolted with chain anchors. The 7500' altitude and trees for shade make this a comfortable area to climb when the temps are rising in the valley.


Getting There 

Go about 1/10th a mile past the 18 mile marker and park in the turnout on the left side of the road. Cross the road and head up the drainage for the obvious cliff. If you can avoid sliding back down on the pine needles, it is about 1/10th of a mile to the cliff.

Barnum rock is mentioned in the Steiger guide and Squeezing the Lemmon II without any detail. This is in the same area as Gumby wall, but is accessed from the west side. We are calling the west and south face the Bay Lee wall in the route descriptions. GPS coordinates are: N32.40089 W110.69644

In 2008, this area is closed between February 1 and August 31 - for nesting peregrine falcons and Mexican Spotted Owls.

Some fun climbs in here, especially the 5.9..

Suitable for beginning leaders if they have a good lead head, there are some should-not-fall situations, runouts on easy slabs and ledges..
