Description Suggest change

Burial Grounds are the two "bouldery" rocks up the trail from Rockland. One is about 15' high & the other is about 25' high. To get there, walk up the summit trail about 5 minutes after the Rockland cut-off. When the two rocks are almost directly to your left, take the faint trail along the drainage-way toward the rocks. Don't cut up too early. If you think you've missed the trail, you probably did! This area features top ropeable climbs in the 5.6 to 5.10b range. Anchors are easily accessed from the back of the rock. The southwest sun exposure makes for a good alternative site if it's cold, rained recently, or Rockland/El Dorado are crowded. The area is full of ticks so be sure to check yourself after walking through the brush!

Getting There Suggest change

Walk 5 minutes up the summit trail past Rockland and take a faint trail to the left adjacent to a small drainage.
