Access Issue: Climbing permitted, but keep a low profile
Details
Lou Cerutti adds: On our way in yesterday we were stopped by a quarry employee who initially tried to deter us from entering adding that we were on private property and that they never catch the climbers they see up there. After a friendly chat he decided to let us go. I suggested I'd be happy to speak with the owner and left him my phone number. I never heard back but we may want to add some info about keeping a low profile there.
Getting There
Park at the turn-out that is a short distance east of the entrance to the quarry on the north side of the road (crag side) below the “eastern crag”
To approach the western crag walk along the road going west (away from your car) and cross the entrance/driveway to the quarry. A small footpath will be found to take up the dirt hill just after passing the driveway.
It’s a super loose crap shoot of a trail so wear some boots lest you want shoes full of junk when you get up there.
See Zacharys notes below for some accurate info on what to expect.
