"I have climbed 4 of California's Bear Mountains: 

#11    5-22-05    Solo.  Located about 1/4 mile beyond locked gate on upper Stallion Rd off CA 4. Site of CalFire's 'Fowler Bear Mountain' L.O.

#19    8-10-07      Drive-up with CalFire worker to CalFire's 'Shasta Bear Mountain' L.O.  Approached over private property by gated road near #14884 Dry Creek Rd

#20    10-10-06    Solo  from locked gate less than 1 mile from summit, which is site of CalFire's "Siskiyou Bear Mountain" L.O.  Approached from Harris Springs Rd near Hambone via a network of FS and logging roads.

#21    8-7-95    Solo from Doe Flat and Devils Punchbowl via trail and XC. 

Cheers and good luck with this new project in memory of Joe Feller---obviously one of those good guys whose productive life ends much too soon."
