[IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA]
Is closed from 0.2 mi east of Angelus Oaks /at Mill Creek Rd/ to 4.6 mi east of Angelus Oaks /at Hill Ranch Rd/ (San Bernardino Co) - Due to mudslide - Motorists are advised to use an alternate route
Description
Scramble up low-angled chunky slab to the base of a slightly overhanging smooth sheet of rock that looks much harder than it is. Clip a high bolt and then lauch up the amazing face, which has positive incut edges just when you need them, passing one more bolt to the top. A fall clipping the second bolt may be hazardous to your ankles - so be careful!
There are no anchors specifically for this route so use the anchors on the backside and rap down that face to descend.
The climbing on the upper portion of this route is great, but the amount of actual climbing is woefully short. Were this to be re-bolted and have it's own anchor it might see a fair bit of traffic, but until watch those ankles.
