Burns Area Climbers?

Recommended Posts

Any of you out there? I am kicking around the idea of applying for a district engineering detail in Burns Oregon. This makes sense from a career standpoint…. However, quality of life is as or more important to me than my career. Seems like Burns is pretty much in B.F.E. So I’m wondering what the heck is out there worth climbing? Far as I can tell besides the Steins, which appears to have little climbing opportunities, the Bend area is the closest thing with any climbing (2.5 hours away). Anyone want to pipe in with some info?

Leslie Gulch is not all that far in a relative sense, and there are a ton of other big spires along the Owyhee. I will be down on the Owyhee all next week with the wife. Be assured, while burns lacks the "culture" of the west side, outdoor pursuits are boundless.

No this is the lower owyhee river upstream of Lake Owyhee. about 20 milss up river from Leslie gulch.

 

I am off for a 5 day float trip (through some of the most amazing desert in Oregnon, hot springs, etc.) on the Owyhee tomorrow morning. Should have a bunch of photos when I return.
