Access Issue: Road Closure in Effect Details

SR 38
[IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA]
Is closed from 0.2 mi east of Angelus Oaks /at Mill Creek Rd/ to 4.6 mi east of Angelus Oaks /at Hill Ranch Rd/ (San Bernardino Co) - Due to mudslide - Motorists are advised to use an alternate route

Description

South facing wall made up of a unique dark colored granite. Small waterfalls flowing behind you as you belay. This area offers many fun moderate climbs from 5.6 up to 5.10d. The climbs are decent in length and will put your footwork to the test.

Primarily a winter spot due to it being south facing. Anything 70 degrees or higher and you might melt.

Getting There

This is the first wall you see as you approach the canyon. Can be accessed by going through The Alcove or by scrambling over blocks to the base.
