There's a small bit of obscure rock about 150m or so west of the bridge that crosses Boulder Creek with a couple maybe more routes on it. The quality is sub-par and the routes are short, but if you're in to climbing lesser-known routes, then this is for you.
Identify the rock by looking for a small roof near the bottom that angles up to the left. A finger crack is on the left side of the rock and a curving flake on the right.
L->R
A. Deb's Arete, 6, 1p, 50', gear. B. Aids, 9, 1p, 50', gear. C. Wiggly Seam, 9+ R, 1p, 50', gear.
There may be poison ivy in the deep foliage at the base.
Getting There
Park as for the Dome and cross the bridge, but head west along the trail. Go about 150 meters and you'll see the short cliff just above the water trough. Keep hiking on the trail past the cliff for the easiest access until a concrete section (I think) and head up to the hill at a manhole cover.
Traverse back east above the water trough to the base.
Can anyone point me to info on "Deb's Arete" (5.6)?

Deb's Arete is a short line on the left side of this tiny crag. Since Deb had done it, I was hoping she'd post the info, but I guess not yet. You can see the top of the line in the photo for the crag near the skyline.
