Overview

3 pitches of fun sustained climbing on a well bolted route.

All three pitches are face climbing on very well featured rock.

This climb is in the middle of a huge face, there are bolted routes everywhere, literally. If you cared to you could take off on a tangent anywhere and just keep climbing on a different route. There is a local guide for El Cajon Mnt climbs that is available free here (as of November 2007).

OK if you are climbing here you must know a little history. First let me say, I climb with friends, that's it, I stay out of everything else. But you should know that there has been a battle over bolts at this crag. The outcome from these "bolt wars" is that some routes have been removed, you can actually find topos that list the chopped routes. With that being said, go climb, there are tons of routes. Trad and sport, on a busy weekend there may be four of five parties on the crag, you will have all of the room in the world and if you don't want to socialize you don't have too.
