Bury Your Poop. Pack Out Your Paper.

Approach Trail Map<br>
<br>
From the parking lot: Look out at the ocean then head up the trail to your right. Follow the trail and stay to the left of the water tank and keep going. The trail opens up and you'll see the no bikes sign (Blue Circle) and go right here. Follow it down past a mellow slab and then you'll see the wall on your left.

The Corpse Wall at Saddle Peak.

Say What? You take an egg to the crag and just chuck the shell. Do you do that at the gym? Clean up after yourselves and pack it out!!

$Well featured and fractured sandstone.$

Giant rock next to the wall. Looks like there is an anchor on top. Anyone have any info?

Big upgrades by the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District. Pass carefully on the ocean side of this active construction site.

Paragliding has became a "thing" from the bluff south of the Corpse Wall, in addition to hiking, climbing, illegal mountain biking, and illegal dog walking.

This is where you turn off the main approach trail. Go right.

Las Virgenes Water District water tank. Pass this on your right about 1/3 of the way in on the hike into Saddle Peak.

Yet more signage on the trail to Corpse Wall.

Cruising on the Backbone Trail to the Corpse Wall..

New signage on the approach.

Toilet Paper, Egg Shells, Cigarette Butts, Old Chalk Balls, ....all left by Thoughtless Clueless climbers.

Are you kidding me, people!!<br>
Leave your Toilet Paper and feces smears in the gym. If you have to go outside, bury it or pack it out!

You bring your dog to Stunt Ranch State Park and throw a bag full of its feces into the bushes. HOW OBTUSE CAN YOU BE??<br>
$240 fine for having your dog in the Park and $1,000 for littering. The dog is welcome, the misbehaving climber is not!
