Description
The east sector features all climbing off the east side of the trail from Park Ave. Most climbing faces West, Queen Victoria Rock tends to hold more shade for hotter days and the SE area is more sunny for colder days. This area features mostly moderate 5.10 desert crack climbing. Check out the adventurous 3p Weapons of Love, or its neighbor Heart of the Desert a great corner crack. If you're here for towers The Candelabrum is a 3 pitch hardman/hardwomans tower climb. The two central fins have yet to see an ascent as far as I know. Plenty more lines in here that are not documented here. Enjoy.
Getting There
Park as for Park Ave, Access the South East Area by walking a very short trail from the farthest east point of the parking lot pull off to the cliff edge ~1-2 min approach. Access Queen Victoria Rock (NE) by walking all the way to the end of the Eastern band from the Park Ave parking or access via the North/next pull off (same as Argon Tower, The Organ) and approach from the other side. They are both similar distances relatively short approaches.
