I had a day up here a few years back and did a handful of excellent problems in a kick ass forest setting. Some people there were scetched by the rock quality but it is rather bomber sandstone. Bring your own water, tent and everything else for a good time...
What a beautiful place. I've been up twice now before the road opens, hiking in on Chorro Grande trail, once in snow w/40mph gusts and once in 90 deg baking sunshine. Very pleasant under the shade of the pines on a hot day. -7,200' at the top. The rock is quite good, and some areas are very SHARP! Harsh on the tips, due to all the large angular sand grains and pebbles. You really want to stick every move, or it will shred your fingers after a few goes.
Truly an endless boulderfield. Good stuff to be found everywhere, on relatively steep and loose (pine needles) hillside terrain.
