This is the place where climbing is allowed? Or at least not forbidden? Cool pic, looks sweet!

yes climbing seems to be allowed here. there seems to be people that live in trailers all over the place. kinda look like they are 'squatting' or something. so u might get shot by a redneck. aside from that, u should be ok :-)

I'll bring you as my human shield and personal climbing guide. I'll supply the beer as payment.

seems like a great trade... u could just pour the beer into my buckshot wounds for ingestion.

it is sort of unclear who owns the land at rattlesnake mound. there is no signage or other postings and it is pretty close to residences.

As far as I know the land is state owned, not 100% sure though. When the two tornadoes touched down, we were there the next week and locals said the state was letting people cut and take wood. The place was a disaster.

Yeah, it seems pretty certain that if people weren't allowed there would be signs.
