Per Diego Concha: I called the DCR today and spoke to a ranger who said they no longer allow climbing at Rattlesnake Rocks because of endangered species that live near the crag and are sending climbers to Quincy Quarries nearby.
Description
Climb the crack for about 10 feet on good holds to a stance. Move right crossing Monday Morning Slab above the start of that route, and high step onto a low angle slab with a crack angled up to the right. Follow the crack to a level stance below a short bulge. Pull the bulge, and continue to follow the crack up and to the right to the top (with good exposure for Rattlesnake), or finish the last ten feet straight up with slab moves (recommended). Belay from a pipe and tricky gear. The rock is great quality and has good friction with some areas of lichen that do not detract from the route. Watch for broken glass and other detritus that may come from knuckleheads on the lookout above. You get great views at the finish.
Location
Start at a left leaning hand crack about 5 feet left of the start for Monday Morning Slab at a short, vertical wall. Walk off left to join Skyline Trail down to the bottom of the cliff.
