View from the beach, and the start of "Man Overboard." Most of the routes start on the top of the large boulder in the center of the photo. Access the top by a short (8') 4th class climb on the southeast side.<br> <br> Even at the highest of tides, the top of the boulder remains dry, and clear of the waves. It's very exciting! <br>

New Titanium Ram's Horns anchors are installed on all routes. They are quick, easy, and strong (30kN together).<br> <br> Please, as always, reduce wear and tear and top rope off of your personal gear. It is easy for the last person to loop some slack through both anchors, clean the draws, and lower, in under 30 seconds without ever going off belay.
New, 2020 topo. Super high sands have enabled some fun trad lines to be developed straight off the beach.
Current trail conditions. The light green is the original path, but a fortunate new green path avoids the one patch of poison oak on the hill. The lower red trail is a steep bramble with bad erosion. Keep heading down and touch the spruce tree.

Lots of fun climbing!
Aerial photo of High Bluffs from the California Coastal Records Project. Copyright © 2013 Kenneth & Gabrielle Adelman <br> <br> The climbing routes are on the far right wall, facing south (not the wall facing the ocean). You can see the two trail-marking conifers in the upper center of the photo near the ridge.
My redirected solo-TR set up for both Captain Weirdbeard and Captain Longbeard. This anchor is now replaced with titanium bolts and ram's horns.
Cool views towards Split Rock (No Climbing allowed). Viewed from partway up High Bluffs.
