The El Cajon Mountain climbing area is in close proximity to the San Diego River Park Foundation property. This property's purpose is to protect and conserve San Diego's threatened habitat and wildlife in perpetuity. Specifically, the San Diego River Park Foundation are protecting golden eagles that nest in the area and ceanothus, a California lilac that is an endemic sensitive plant species. Please avoid and limit recreational activities at the San Diego River Park Foundation property to promote San Diego's threatened habitat and wildlife. Thank you!
Description
This route starts from the belay anchors one pitch up (at the end of pitch one of "Unnamed Route 15", Unnamed Route 16 or Cause for Pause).
Step carefully up and left on a steep wall above the roof. Then continue up a long low angle dihedral to the right. When the diheral ends continue slightly to the left around a small roof to the anchors.
This is great pitch, with though-provoking moves through the initial face section and continuous, surprising moves up the dihedral. Highly recommended second pitch to route #16.
