Description

The west side of Lemon hosts several good climbs. Most the climbing is bolt protected, but bring a light rack, as some routes are mixed. The grades tend to be more moderate than on the East Side. Expect to get morning sun and afternoon shade.

Getting There

From the gate at the north end of the reservoir, go left across a bridge and through the Florida Campground, continue following the dirt road to the Burnt Timber Trailhead and park here. Hike through the Transfer Park Campground and down a short trail near site #21 to a knotted fixed rope that leads to the base of the cliff.

Per jed botsford: the correct way to access the west side of this climbing area is to park at the trailhead and then walk down to the climbing area through the campground. Please do not park in the campground. If someone is camping in site 21 which is where you access the climbing area, please be respectful and talk with them about what you are going to do. DO NOT just walk through the site with out acknowledging the campers.
