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
P-1 5.8 80' Start in the same crack as Breakfast and continue angling right past bolts to the anchor.
P-2 5.7 80 ' PG Follow a crack system on easy ground. At some point the crack gets wide and there is no pro, but easy climbing. Higher is two bolts leading to the second anchor of Daisies.
Location
Begin in the obvious crack.
Protection
single rack thru 3", wires, several bolts per pitch
The first pitch is one of the better pitches off the ground, and the second and third pitches allow you to skirt around the left side of the steep and imposing Headwall. Atop the Headwall is where the only trail on a steep hillside begins, and walks you north to the 2nd Tier trail and beyond. Oct 9, 2021
