Description 

A quarter mile further up the road from Sespe Gorge (Black Wall) lies this 80' cliff sporting a handful of quality sport routes. Bring traditional gear if planning on climbing the solitary trad line, Beginnings (5.5). Also, some supplementary gear (nuts, TCUs) is recommended if leading Menage a Trois (5.10b). A single rope is sufficient to get off all routes.

Should I Stay (5.10b/c) - 4 bolts to anchor, 40'.
Should I Go (aka El Potrero) (5.10b/c) - 4 bolts to anchor, 40'.
