New Routes In Plains/Paradise Area

Submitted by theblythlyway on Sat, 03/26/2011 - 15:17

 

All of the following climbs are visible and access able from the roads surrounding Plains.  Some Private property access issues, but if you stop and ask folks are pretty amiable.  Only really issue is if the temperature will allow the climbs to form and stick around.  Seems like they are all doable for a week or two at a time throughout an average season, but when exactly that week might be is hard to say.
