Good news folks. POB is no longer limited access. After climbing at POB today, we spoke with the property owner, Freddy. He told us to get the word out that POB is back open for climbing. The usual rules still apply:

Climbing is $10 a day
Camping is $6 a day

There is a drop box and sign in sheet at the house. Inside the box there are waivers that must be filled out if you've never been out there before. Freddy lives there, he knows who goes in and out, and he keeps track of who doesn't pay. So please, for the sake of access, please pay for your climbing and camping.

When burn bans are not in affect (and they currently are), campfires are allowed. Be respectful! This is private property and we are being allowed to use what it has to offer through the graciousness of the owner. Practice leave no trace.

It may be chossy, but it is indeed paradise. Let's enjoy it and make sure it stays open!

Go Climb Columbia!

Super, Ultra, Mega, Classic.

Best 5.12 in the State!

ya i love that place pob is open and it is great to lead on limestone

Where is this?

West of D/FW, between Mineral Wells and Graham near Possum Kingdom Lake (or so I understand).

It's in Graham, Texas where the Brazos River meets Possum Kingdom Lake.
Around 1-1.5 hours from Fort Worth.

Just be aware that it's $10 a person, and not $10 a car load.

Yes POB is open to the public for the time being. The RV park was just opened back up this past weekend. Please continue to respect the land. This property is still for sale, so its future is still unknown and in the hands of whoever may purchase it in the future. But for now, he is allowing respectful climbers on his property to climb.

Please pack out your trash, stay on the designated roads, do not cut any trees or vegetation, and most of all, pay for your climbing before you climb. Freddie has mentioned that there have been a number of climbers who have not been paying for their days of climbing. This has been a common trend for quite some time now. Climbing here is a privilege not a right, and Fredie has mentioned throwing in the towel once again if people do not pay.

Climbing without paying is definitely not cool, but maybe he'd have an easier time getting people to pay if it wasn't so expensive.

Well, it is private property and he reserves the right to charge whatever he wants to charge. I think its a little high myself...but the bottom line is if you think its too expensive and don't want to pay the price...don't go there. Its no excuse to go climb without paying. Those few individuals jeopardize access for the rest of us.

Some individuals sign the register but dont put their money in the drop box. I have asked Freddie to pass along the names of people who do this in the future.

I was out there today with my girlfriend. Even though the temps were high in the sun we were able to stay in the shade all day which made it very comfortable.

We started at crags by the river and by two we went over to the Stockyards.

I'm glad to see this place is open to all!
