Description

WARNING: These routes are almost precisely 30 meters and can be climbed with a 60 meter rope, but TIE A STOPPER KNOT on the end of the rope and mind your positioning (stand close to the wall) as you lower your climber to the ground so as to not run the end of the rope through the belay device!

Moderate, low angle slab. Well protected sport. Ranging from 5.6-8.

You can climb everything here with a 60 m rope and 10 quick draws.

Getting There

The mountain biking trail from the rusted green gate parallels the crag for a bit and then heads straight toward the hill before veering right again. The trail to Cal Trans Wall peels off the mtb trail and goes straight up the hill. The start is not entirely obvious so keep an eye out. You'll head up between bushes to the base of the wall, starting at the Right side and continuing to the climber's Left. Fun low angle slab 5.6-5.8.

If you continue to the far Left of the base of the crag you'll see a fixed line that goes up 3rd class slab and continues toward the multipitch routes.
