Description

Often foggy but not too cold. Few people. Climbing includes a few boulders near a large rock in the ocean the looks like a skull. Best climbing is on the boulder with an overhanging arête facing the ocean. Black rock is sharp and solid while brown rock is choss or sandy.

Getting There

After passing cambria on hwy 1 go past the san simeon pines sign for about a mile and take a left at the first dirt parking lot. U should see a large rock that looks like a skull in the distance. Walk towards it for about a mile along the beach
The boulder is next to the skull rock.
