Access Issue: PRIVATELY OWNED PROPERTY Details

This cliff line is on private property. If there are "NO TRESPASSING" signs up, and you choose to climb there, that's a personal choice. Attempts have been made to contact the landowner by the local climbing organization, but thus far, there has been no progress.

Description

***Access here is uncertain. Attempts have been made to access the land owners with no success. If you see no trespassing signs, please don't remove them, and if you choose to climb here with those signs up, do so knowing that you could be permanently jeopardizing access. Climb at your own risk. Use good judgement.***

Getting There

There is at least one published guidebook to the area with the location listed there. The specific directions aren't published here because of the tenuous access issue.
