Access Issue: Raptor Nesting Advisory
Details
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
Start by heading up the open slab. The San Diego County Climbing guide shows a 5.10 crux on this slab. NOT! A few moves of 5.8+, nothing harder there. Continue up to a large flake (pro to .25 to .75') then head to the 4th bolt. Steeper terrain awaits as you move past bolt #5. Balance, edge and crank up past bolt #6 (the .10a crux). Once past bolt #6, face climb to the right, along the upper edge of a slanting slab. Head to the anchor that is located at the top of the slab. Best option is to set the anchor on the slab and belay from the anchor bolts (rings) 8' to the right. Best rappel is from the anchor with rings (the same anchor for pitch #2 of 'Pause For Cause'). Two raps makes it back to terra firma.
*Special Note*
Be aware that this route sits under the big roofs above (a source of water runoff). So be prepared to encounter some slick sections of rock in the steeper sections. Also, the SDC guidebook posts a "One star" rating for this route. Certainly better than that, in this page authors opinion.
