Description 

OVERVIEW
Short, pumpy routes on steep, edgey volcanic rock. The location itself is beautiful in its own way--the endless rooftops of nearby trailer-homes and the abundant high-power electrical wires overhead give the place its own unique character. There are just enough quality routes to make it worth the hike.

While the area is technically a sport climbing destination, the rock quality is not good and loose blocks abound. Exercise caution when choosing which routes to lead. Nearly all routes can be approached fromm the ridge above and easily top roped.

WEATHER/CLIMBING SEASON
Hot in summer, cool in winter. Spring and fall are downright nice. The site is quick to dry out after spring showers.

Getting There 

From Hwy 101 in Newbury Park, exit Wendy Drive. Go west on Old Conejo Road, which parallels the freeway. Park in the Old Pepper Tree Playfield and continue down Old Conejo Road on foot.
