I know a place in the Humboldt range with limestone, but it doesnt look like that. Will have to go take pics some day.
My dodge is nearing 315k. I change the oil at random, whenever it feels dirty and i have some cash.

That's what I told the guy that bought it... :-)
Doesn't everybody change their oil "every two thousand miles"?

There's some excellent quality limestone if you travel a bit. The continuous vertical distance of superb rock isn't, say, any more than Owens River Gorge, but the rock quality can be as good as limestone gets. Some great looking roofs and caves, pretty firm stuff with only a minimum of cleaning and trundling needed to make some really great pitches. A few facets should be avoided for raptor reasons (the falcons will rip you to shreds anyway, if you get too close). Check it out:
And it's scenic:

Good call and partially correct - we're calling this one "Jailhouse Rock":

jonnyrig, those cliffs are in White Pine Co., about 25 miles east of Eureka, then south about 15 or 20 miles. So, pretty far out in the boonies. The ones in the photos are a mile or less walk from a dirt road. There are other crags of good limestone rock in Dixie Valley, and in the Monitor Range too, but some of those are a lot further to walk. It's adventure climbing for sure, although the best actual climbing potential would be for sport routes over the giant roofs. Way out of my league.

Wow. Some of this stuff is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I've been into Dixie valley a little, but not much, and long before I started climbing. Hopefully, next year we'll be settling in with the kids and getting back out to camp and explore. Never been out there by Eureka, not yet.
Never been to Death Valley area either. Man, if I could just hit the lottery so I could keep the gas tank full...

On second thought, maybe it's in the western Panamints? Looks a lot like the rock when you first enter Goler Wash or Coyote Canyon. Really cool stuff.

Jailhouse rock is already the name of one of the best steep crags in Ca. Development dates back to the mid 80's.

I'm almost positive I know where Just the maid's first photo is taken. And if I don't then I know another limestone wall in death valley that has several bolted routes and you can drive right up to it with a stock toyota truck.
