Access Issue: Raptor Nesting Advisory
Details
Please avoid raptor nests. El Cajon Mountain- Golden Eagles nested successfully at this site in 2009, after relocating twice between alternate nest sites. The Golden Eagle nest at El Cajon Mountain was not successful in Spring 2010. This nest was successful and fledged young in 2011 - 2021. Details from USFS posted here:
fs.usda.gov/detail/clevelan… 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
Great route, rivals long face climbing found in the Vegas canyons. Steep, technical, well protected, great climb in the 5.10 range. The pitches are long and sustained at the 5.9-5.10 range.
Location
Shares the start of Leonids, but goes up slightly left.

After 5 or 6 bolts, there is an intermediate rap anchor that still exists, but after that all hangers have been removed and their bolts hammered flat.

Technical in sections, especially at 5.10. Climbed 'Cause for Pause' (5.10c) the week prior and would say this was slightly easier than P1 and P5 of that climb. Nothing too physical or tiring on Mañana but a good route for learning to read the rock correctly.
I followed P1 and led P2 for a nice "365ft" continuous climb. Fell once on P1 and once on P2. Crux on P1 for me was near a large left foot pocket with very little for hands. Ended up succeeding this section by traversing left just below the pocket on micro-edges. Crux on P2 felt like the end of the slab ramp where hands disappeared. Apr 30, 2020
