This crag is on a fire road on which local homeowners pay the city a lease or use fee of some sort. The homeowners are of the opinion that this grants them exclusive use of the road. While that may or may or not be true, they act on that belief and have cars towed and confront users.
The crag itself is on public land, so there's no problem with the climbing itself. Work is underway to clarify the road situation. In the mean time, best ways to approach the crag are (more details in the "Getting There" section: 1. park on Indian River Drive before the fire roads begin and bike in and out (and haul your bikes up the trail a bit). 2. Drive in and drop everyone off except the driver, then the driver can drive back out and bike back in.
Rolf just below the crux of Mid-Life Crisis.
Description
This is a variation that combines the start of Out To Pasture with the finish of Arts and Krafts. It's actually a better climb than either of those routes, so it seems to deserve to be listed separately.
The crux comes shortly after the horizontal break, but the ankle-breaking potential is much less than on Out To Pasture. The technical nature of the climbing here is a lot of fun.
Location
The climb takes the first four bolts of Out To Pasture and then traverses right along the horizontal break to finish up the last four bolts of Arts and Krafts.
Protection
about eight draws and a two-bolt anchor with rap rings
