Good to see that someone else knows them as well. Indeed, they're on private property. Hence the obscure reference to them. I own property up there and live up there. Access is cool as long as you keep yourself low key and on foot. You might be surprised at the number of problems now.

Found this one yesterday. Probably walked right past it a hundred times, just never looked around the corner. Super thin tips. Steeper than it looks in the pic, narrowing at the top. About 12 feet high to a sloper top out. (Sorry about the pic quality... cell phone.)

Hey fellas. Found this info about Bottle Peak. Is this the same area?
"Bottle Peak, 2010: The California Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) granted TECC $3.5 million to purchase 418 acres on Bottle Peak, the iconic landmark east of the city of Escondido at the headwaters of Escondido Creek. The County of San Diego subsequently purchased the second half of Bottle Peak creating an 800 acre preserve."
Looks good on Google earth.

Had a ton o' fun out there with Baja Andy a couple of years back. Been thinking about hitting him up for another (more thorough) tour!
Great orange stone, amazing patina, and good vibes. I'll bring beers next time ;-)

Bouldered up there a couple years back. Andy took me and The Yerian for a tour of the area. Andy is one strong Mutha and a hellava good boulderer....but then he has a private playground up there. Big mistake of mine was to not call him back! Maybe when I get stronger!!!
Peace

Ho man! Talk about dredging up some old posts!
RED-Point... no, not Bottle Peak. A few miles away. Been up there a time of two, but not sure about property issues in that neck of the woods.
Darkmagus! C'mon man! I don't know how you and Ron could only come up here once and then let it go!
Friend: Yup, got that one a few years back. It's pretty fun.
And Ron... it's never too late my friend!

Friend: Never got the PM. Tried to send one to you. Perhaps the message feature is not working here at the taco?

Supertopo PM function = fail.
No worries, it took me all of 6 minutes to track you down the old fashioned way, climbers' grapevine. Stand by for email contact!
Cheers
