Access Issue: Trestle and CMC areas are off limits.
Details
The entire Trestle and CMC areas are now off-limits. The house finally sold and the new owners are more than happy to call the cops on climbers and fishermen (even for trespassing on land that is not theirs!).
Description
This is the funny, little, hoodoo spire that is seen on the North Side of the Eagle-Wolcott Canyon from I-70.
It has chossy sandstone, but you point it out to your friends as you drive by.

Getting There
Exit I-70 at Wollcot and head west on US Hwy 6. Take a dirt road (55) under I-70, and go east on the north dirt frontage road. Stop at the drainage leading up. It is somewhat of an adventure working up the drainage due to loose, muddy, wash walls and such. Keep heading up to the spire.
