Description

Rock climbing near and around South Bessemer Creek

Getting There

Parking: From North Bend, turn on to the Middle Fork road. Drive approximately 9.3 miles, to a pullout on the left hand side of the road suitable for ~6 cars. This pullout is right before the road “dips” (i.e. for flooding) so if you hit those you’ve gone just a little too far. This is the same parking as for Helms.

Follow the CCC trail heading west to reach the south-western drainage.
