Hey Ray---You coming to this Woodson shindig? You better say yes or expect to see the inside of a Grade VII haulbag on the way to the airport in a couple of months!!! LOL

Warbler, Is this north facing rock the one you can see heading south on the 15 in Temecula just before heading up the hill where the border check is?

Does anyone know if the tweaker homesteads on top of the hill are occupied? I walked near the one along the main road but wasnt sure if there were squatters or occupants and didnt feel like risking getting shot at. If no one lives there it is a fairly easy hike 80% of the way to the north slope, as well as the top of rock candy and the other t-domes.
these pics arent mine (credit to Scott Nelson), but heres a closer look at the north slope face.

i had a question about access to the T-Domes. i exited rainbow valley and made a right. the road was gated with a rather ominous sign stating the road was used for various law enforcement agencies......and more or less i am not allowed on it. the question is, all the access directions i have found start with taking this road till it turns to dirt, what are the odds i am allowed to simply part at the weigh station and walk up the road....with out getting shot for it? and also what if i used the creek bed in temecula to gain access, what say you to that? i am willing to accept the fact that there will be some bush hacking.

That gate's been up for a bit now. When the original guys wrote the directions there wasnt a gate at the bottom. I've parked at the end there by the weigh station and just hoofed it up the road, was gone for a few hours and had no problems, however my friend came back to his car and had a cop checking his sh#t out. Didnt get a ticket, but got a "talking to". My advice is to just leave a note on your car that says "went up the hill rock climbing". haha
Hiking from the creek is going to be WAAAAY too much work. If youre trying to reach the northern domes why not just have someone drop you off on the side of the freeway? We're heading up soon, you're welcome to come along.

Me and some friends checked out that big face back in the 80's. We were dissapointed with the rock but put up a couple bolted routes since we hiked all that way. I remember the poison oak was alive and doing very well in that canyon. I never went back.

the chapparal guarding the base of this crag says it all. getting through that stuff can take 30 minutes per yard. you cannot conceive of how grim those thickets are until you've experienced one first-hand.

Then, if you go in spring, well, snakey.
I've sussed it from the road across the canyon.
Thanks for the pics.

casual observation from the comfy environs of my car as i travelled to and from JT and Idylwild made me think that N. facing wall along margarita creek cyn might be the biggest hunk of rock in that entire amazing area. Its great to finally get a good look at it thanks to fellas who had the gumption to go have a gander. Impressive tho it is, the angles and features just dont create the kind of lines it seems to promise. Once again its proven biggest aint always best, and if ive thought about doing it, its prolly already been done. Hats off to those who explore the unknown for all our benefit! And thanks for sharing the pics.

WOW this thread is AMAZING! I just moved out here, did a little exploring at woodson, santee and mission and finally bought the Hubbard guidebook.
This is really exciting because I figured there had to be more here than met the eye. Now if I could only climb half of this stuff...
Beautiful photos! I have a little idea of the work that goes into getting some of those shots and its greatly appreciated.
See you all at the shin-dig!

NO climbs there and it's a pile of rubble Guy! Wouldn't waste yer time on stuff like that. Besides I think Kevin is still recovering from the recon on that pile. Happy New Year!
Peace
