The Limestone can be seen from the road on the opposite side of the road as the Kern River. This area was originally developed by Dan Osmand, Tom Gilge and Mike Lechlinski and a few other locals also had some involvement. You park at the limestone campground and make your way up a steep but short hike to the left side of the formation (the left cliff) and then you can make your way around the base to the cave on the right. There is a short scramble up some class 4 limestone slab although there is a fixed rope. The old line was a bit scary so we replaced it recently with a donated line. All of the climbs are overhanging and most have nice big holds. The routes are all great and will bring some variety to your climbing. The names were chosen because during the time this this area was first developed the large limestone pockets had some quite large beehives in them and hence most of the names.

No Known Access Issues. The only issue may be either sweaty rock when it is damp outside and also the birds and the bee′s that occupy the cave.

This area is best used in any other month than July or August. If climbed towards the summer or spring and the day is going to be moderately warm it is best to climb in early morning to early afternoon before the sun hits the rock. If climbed in winter it is best to climb in afternoon once the sun has gently warmed the slab face. This area stays dry in the rain although the rock sweats so it feels greasy.
