"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."
