Looking for info on camping and climbing at Corte Madera. The ACSD guide book sure tells you how to get there and has beautiful color pics, but I can find no info on whether you can rambo camp at the trailhead or somewhere nearby.
What's the scoop?

Most people seem to park on Corral Canyon/Morena Stokes Valley Rd and hike in from there, its a pretty small dirt turnout, and I don't think you can or would want to rambo camp there. Lots of rangers cruising around also due to the OHV area...
If you drive up and over Los Pinos to the saddle between Los Pinos and Corte Madera, I think you could get away with it no problem. A much larger parking area, tucked into trees/bushes. This parking area is 0.3 miles driving distance north from the true saddle between the two peaks. The road up Los Pinos is paved, and if I remember correctly from there its 2.0 miles on a dirt road to reach the area I'm talking about. The road is in pretty good shape, 2WD with moderate clearance can make it no prob.
The wall is very impressive!! I'd love to see some pics once you guys get out there.
I can email you a map if it would help you out with finding the parking area, or a large (4.2MB) shot of the wall, you can zoom in and see the climbing routes. PM me if interested.
