Description

Amazing raw boulders at the top of this mountain on the outskirts of San Marcos and Escondido. Old bolts can be found scattered around different routes in the area so climbers have been here before long ago.

Getting There

VERY difficult approach starting from the trailhead at the end of Lawrence Welk Ct with one route that is very steep and strenuous while the other is easier but longer and both are about 1 mile.
