Details
Per
Diego Concha: I called the DCR today and spoke to a ranger who said they no longer allow climbing at Rattlesnake Rocks because of endangered species that live near the crag and are sending climbers to Quincy Quarries nearby.
Description
This is a fun route on the west face of Burger Boulder. It ascends a right-diagonaling, traverse crack to the right edge of the face. You could do this as a foot traverse, but a hand traverse is more obvious. Gain the right edge and do some easier climbing to the top of the boulder.
There is a more direct start that starts a bit to the right at 5.10.
There is an extendo start to the left, Back Door Man, 11.
Location
This ascends the low, right-angling, traverse crack.
Protection
TR is probably best. 2 old manky bolts on top were the anchors a while back.
