Access Issue: Private Property Details

Burney Limestone is technically on private property that is owned by Bear Gulch Quarry. There have been access concerns in the past between climbers and the landowners, although it has been many years. Please respect the area, keep a low profile, and leave it cleaner than you found it.

Description

Overhanging climbs just about as far up the hill as you can go.

Getting There

Walk up the standard approach trail. Instead of turning left to enter the main wall area, continue towards the Pachyderm Wall rappels. When you get to the section of the trail that crosses the talus field, turn left and hike up the talus. After 2 minutes of talus scrambling, turn sorta left and drop down into the area with a few overhanging climbs.
