Sleeping Giant Route Map - El Cajon Mountain
|
Made an attempt to do this one yesterday. Got lost between pitch 4 and 5. Anyone have photos of all the starts of each pitch showing the bolts/rap rings? Mtn proj has some info but obviously still got lost. I think I needdd to traverse right about 20ft at the beginning of the 4th pitch. But would be good to know if someone actually has a map of this route or any other ones at El Cajon. Thanks! |

That anchor is as described: “out of sight”. Start looking for it off to the right once you’re ~15’ or so over the last bolt |

Just climbed this on sunday. I remember being a bit confused on this same part of the pitch, so I stopped assessed my surroundings and eventually saw the anchors to the right. Such a great climb. Really stoked there is something like this in san diego. |

Yeah you should have kind of worked right Did this route a few weeks ago Its a little bit contrived But the description is pretty straight forward once you are on the thing The repelling was not as easy had to down climb bushwack to the base of the third pitch Caught a bunch of ticks The last two pitches are worth the hike |
