Description
Fun moderate slab sport climbing on good quality granite with a couple trad options. Well-protected. 15 draws and a 70 meter rope will allow you to safely climb every route here if clipping every bolt. Morning and afternoon sun.
You can access the anchors for all climbs easily by carefully scrambling up 4th class slab on either side of the wall to set up top ropes.

Getting There
Approach: 15 min
(See area photos for approach beta)
From gun mount: Take a hard left (almost back toward the hwy) at the brown gate and follow cairns. The trails parallels the highway for a bit before turning right and switch backing up through the brush. Stay left at a junction and continue up following rock cairns (going right will take you toward the top of Cal Trans Wall). Scramble up left of a slab and head left where you will hit a ephemeral creek (may or may not have water). Cross the creek and head up, following cairns into and through more thickets that have been cleared. The way can sometimes be hard to follow, but just keep following the path of least resistance. You will be led by a large boulder at which point the wall will be clearly visible and the tail leading to the base. (See area photos for approach beta)
