Description Suggest change

This 30' high rock is great for beginners. It sports 5 (or 6?) routes from 5.4 to 5.10b (Boobalicious). All are easily top roped from good anchors that can be accessed via a short walk to the left or right side. Also has some of the best views of the bay with few crowds. Left side is the Slot, a 5.7 w/edges and cracks. The classic is the 5.6 Crespi Critter which can be led with thin/small gear or top roped. Watch out for the loose flake/rock toward the top of the crack! Also has Red Dawn, 5.8 and Tips Ahoy 5.5.

Getting There Suggest change

Park in the turnout about 1/2 mile south of the main parking area for Cabrillo and hike up to the rock (which is visible and obvious from the trail). Be sure not to block the gate when you park!
