Access Issue: No overnight camping on PG&E property Details

Noticed several tents while walking into the emeralds climbing area this last weekend ( 5/20/17 ). PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric) has posted several signs at the gate and other areas that state camping is NOT allowed. Please respect this so that access does not become an issue! Thanks in advance, Colby W.

Description

Solid mountain granite. Sunny in early afternoon. Good three season crag.

Getting There

Continue past the Fortress area until you see a shallow cave half way up the wall on the right. Roughly a twenty minute hike. Many cairns and good trail.
