Access, closures, permits & safety
The crag is just off Burnett Ridge Trail in the Ross Marble Area. From the visitor center use Gilbert Lane, Belvedere Avenue and Aberdeen Lane, or hike about one mile from Mead's Quarry via Imerys Trail and Burnett Ridge Trail.
Parking at the Aberdeen Lane entrance is limited. Ijams recommends carpooling or parking at Mead's Quarry and hiking about one mile to the crag.
Confirm current access on the Ijams climbing page and obey on-site trail or crag closure notices.
Complete the Ijams climbing waiver before climbing, use personal equipment for top-rope setups and use fixed anchor hardware only for lowering.
Ijams designates the area climb-at-your-own-risk and warns of falling rock, anchor or equipment failure, slippery surfaces and adverse weather. Obtain appropriate training before climbing.
Closures and permit rules can change without notice. Recheck the official land manager before departure.
