Phil Pickett finishing up the route with US 285 far below.

Below the crux of last pitch.

Start under the tree.

Pitch 1.

Bruce Hildenbrand stemmed out at the crux of the last pitch.

At the top of Lover's Leap (US Hwy 285 below).

The crux.

Lover's Leap on the right. Green arrows show a rap route.

These guys are on the pitch right below the crux. They guy belaying is not quite at the cave (bolts at the cave).

Final pitch cracks.

On the last pitch.

Scott leading the crux.

Shannon Miller cleaning up pitch 1.

Phil Pickett heading up the first pitch.

Milo rapping down from the top of the climb - pitch 4 bolts.

Bruno Hamann tops out on "Haystack." Lover's Leap, CA, circa 1988.

We did this as one pitch with a 70m. It is historical pitch 2....

At the crux.

Good view of the crux move. 20 feet of finger crack climbing. Or stem out and face climb. Protect with a #2 cam.

Chris Cavallaro starting the first pitch.

At the crux. One move.

A nice view from the top of Lover's.

John Patrarka on Lover's Leap.

The top of pitch 2 at the cave.

A great climb and views for such a local crag!

Chains at the top of pitch two (or pitch one if you run it out a little).

"Coffin rock" at the top of pitch 1. You can run it out and easily link pitch 1 and 2 to make it to the chains not far above this.

Starting rap 2 with the goal posts above.

Coffin Rock.

The final rap to the ground.

Erin leading pitch 2 (if you climb P1 to the bolted anchors).

The bridge right by the parking lot, 6/2020.

Today, this was P1, location can vary based on rope length.

Rich Sidoroff heading up the second pitch.

Looking down the crux.

Milo airing out the feet at the top of pitch three.

Hanging out on Lover's Leap.

Leading the second pitch. Easy to combine 2 and 3 into one long, stellar pitch.

Kevin climbing up pitch 1.

Sean Wood just past the crux of the route.

Lover's Leap free solo.

Chains at the top of pitch three.
