Access Issue: Raptor Nesting Advisory
Details
Please avoid raptor nests. El Cajon Mountain- Golden Eagles nested successfully at this site in 2009, after relocating twice between alternate nest sites. The Golden Eagle nest at El Cajon Mountain was not successful in Spring 2010. This nest was successful and fledged young in 2011 - 2021. Details from USFS posted here: fs.usda.gov/detail/clevelan…
The El Cajon Mountain climbing area is in close proximity to the San Diego River Park Foundation property. This property's purpose is to protect and conserve San Diego's threatened habitat and wildlife in perpetuity. Specifically, the San Diego River Park Foundation are protecting golden eagles that nest in the area and ceanothus, a California lilac that is an endemic sensitive plant species. Please avoid and limit recreational activities at the San Diego River Park Foundation property to promote San Diego's threatened habitat and wildlife. Thank you!

Description
Similar to Bright Eyes in nature, but with a harder crux.
Pitch 1, 90' Bolts, small to medium cams: Off the same starting ledge as Bright Eyes, the large arching roof above begins with a 20' tall broken column on the left. Lieback the right side of this column to gain the start of the arch. But, exit the arch as soon as you enter it, by climbing up left past the parallel, horizontal finger cracks. Rock over left after clipping the bolt (crux), and proceed past a pin above to the bolted anchor at 90'.
Pitch 2, 175 feet Bolts, small to medium cams: Follow the bolts to a small roof/overlap, after which you'll trend right into the corner formed by the large roof above Bright Eyes. At the top of this corner look for a bolt up and out right that should encourage you to step out right and finish above. The bolted anchor is set back on the large grassy ledge, you can't see it from the last bolt. This is the same finish as Bright Eyes, which you'll rappel 3 times to get down.
