Due to the drought, falls are totally dry right now! Makes for easy belay from the bottom.

Graffiti clean up at Ortega

Routes on face left of falls
Great little playground at Ortega Falls - slack lining, hiking and climbing - yes please!
A better shot of the routes. You can TR or trad the 5.9 to the right; there really isn't anywhere to place pro for the 5.7 route, so it's TR only.
Why not rap down? It's much faster (and more fun) than hiking!
A shot of the main face from the hilside. (Stolen from RC)
A view of the falls and the pool beneath. It's only like this during late winter and spring.
Nice little warm-up boulder to the right of the Dihedral, Fingers, Polished, and Horn routes.
Rapping down the 5.7 TR (but along the 5.9 route).
From the ledge, looking down. This was taken from a TR I set up for the 5.7, but the view down is the same for both routes.
