Chalk Bluff Uvalde, Texas climbing?

The wall looks impressive but is it choss?  Private?

I've wondered about that same cliff for years. There's some excellent limestone along the Nueces River, so the name could be a misnomer. Or it could be soft chalky stuff.

The closest established climbing is on the same river, but north of there at Camp Eagle.

Thanks, next time I'm in the area I'll check it out. 

Years ago I hiked up that bluff many times and after a run in with authorities the last time they informed me it is private and belongs to the ranch across the river, not the park, so access would need to be approved through the private land owner.

Good to know.  I don't want to deal with any upset land owners.

I thought I'd throw this out there...I'm involved with a group that works to improve access for backcountry aviation.  One of the biggest impacts that they've had is by getting passed or changing existing liability laws for land owners who allow non-commercial recreational access.  That's huge in Texas because its something like 98-99% private land here.  Anyway, here is the statute in Texas: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/DocViewer.aspx?DocKey=CP%2fCP.75&Phrases=liability&HighlightType=1&ExactPhrase=False&QueryText=liability

If a land owner or ranch manager doesn't want you climbing their rock, it's probably because they think they have some sort of liability if you get hurt.  Showing them this statute might help.  And while I haven't asked to climb on private property I have hunted and wheeled and landed my plane and I always tell owners that I'll leave the place cleaner than I found it.  

Also, I have the GaiaGPS app (It's-a-not-a-gaia!) It lets you overlay public/private land data on the topo map.  It's a premium service now, so I haven't upgraded.  Paying for AllTrails Pro is bad enough.  Anyway, there's some other apps that do the same thing. They're geared to hunters or off-road drivers, but they'll keep you from trespassing.

TopoZone is nice for viewing topography.  Also, USDA’s Web Soil Survey is nice for digging in to the soil (or rock) makeup.

OnX Hunt is another good app. It costs $30 a year for a map of a whole state. I really like the app it's great for climbing, hiking, running, etc.
