SikMonkey,
Are Oil Crack and Arena part of the Pendergrass-Murray Preserve?
If so, then they are open to climbing, but there are parking restrictions.
If not, then I'll have to find out what is on the Pendergrass-Murray Preserve.

Pigsteak..that would work but hopefully the RRGCC can just enter into a freindly agreement with whom ever owns the land at the base of the climbs. That is unless the land owner is Charmane Oil.

skydive, please go back to the RRGCC web site and read carefully. we do own the CLIFFS you mention, but we do not own the ground at the base....technically, the cliff is open for climbing, but you are not yet allowed on the ground at the base....understand?
so for ease of argument, don't climb there unitl things are cleared up

I'm reading it now
quoting article of 4/24/2004:
_______________________________________________________
All of the Pendergrass-Murray Preserve is now open to climbing. A second temporary parking area on the Preserve has been opened, at Sore Heel Hollow, off of Bald Rock Road (.2 miles past the Motherlode parking area on the right). Look for the signs. It is absolutely imperative that EVERYONE park in the DESIGNATED PARKING area ONLY and follow all posted rules and guidelines.
Be sure to park off of any gravel road and away from any pipes, oil wells, or all other oil production equipment, and always yield the right-of-way to any oil worker, or truck.
There is a message board located at the parking area where WAIVERS are available and should be signed. Do not park anywhere other than in designated areas. Climbers, and Preserve visitors, are being directed to use the centrally located parking area ONLY and are then free to walk to their final climbing destination.
_________________________________
So....reading carefully it says - Please park in the designated area only, then WALK to your climbing destination.
