Access Issue: Big Rock is currently closed to climbing.
Details
Big Rock is currently closed to climbing while the dam remediation program is in effect - water.ca.gov/lakeperris/
parks.ca.gov/?page_id=651
April 19, 2018 Update:
CA State Parks will officially be reopening Big Rock to public access at the end of April. A dedicated group of volunteers will be assessing routes and replacing existing bolts once the Park opens and hope to complete the work by early June. If you choose to climb prior to replacements being completed be aware that this area has been closed to climbing for several years and the current condition of bolts and rock is unknown. Climb and use bolts at your own risk and use your best judgment. An Adopt-a-crag and 'Grand Opening' Picnic is planned for June 2, 2018 hosted by Southern California Mountaineers Association and Access Fund to celebrate the reopening of this historic climbing area!

Description
This is the first route left of The Trough, and climbs sporty face past two bolts to a 3 bolt belay below Cheap Thrills; as an alternative you can cut left at the top and belay at the base of Mad Dogs.
The climbing isn't bad but this isn't a good choice for the 5.7 leader. It's more often used as an approach pitch to the more difficult pitches above.
