Access Issue: New Access Difficulties Details

A new fence laced in razor wire has been erected on the far end of the dam where you used to hop over. Skirting around is a trivial matter, but I'm unsure how the message should be interpreted. There are no new signs indicating closures, and you can still hike over from Stumbling Blocks/Ghetto Wall. If anything the fence is going to have more of an effect on the hikers trying to do the loop than the climbers. On the plus side, I've never seen it so empty at this area.

Access Issue: New route or crag development is NOT permitted within Malibu Creek SP at this time. Do not improve trails or belay areas using materials brought from outside the park. Details

Description

This is a large overhanging rock outcropping downstream from the Lean To Boulders. There are only two routes and they close to the water, so use care when pulling your rope.

Getting There

This spot is located on the east side of the creek about 150 ft downstream from the Lean To Boulders. Just before the Tombstone scramble up and to the left to find a small path that leads over the top area of the Tombstone. Decend into a small narrow gully and use the chain to decend to the area just to the right of the Tombstone.
