Access Issue: Access Sensitive Details

Private property in the area and no established trail. The climbing area is behind a fire station and a forest ranger lives in that community as well. be quiet and do not disturb or be rude. I have talked to many of the fire fighters and home owners, they are easy going so far but lets not ruin it.

According to some friendly local police and some firefighters, do not to enter this area via the gate. Use an alternate path about 100' down the road since they would be liable if we got hurt entering via their property. GPS coordinates for the alternate path are 33.646703,-117.443247 (now shown on the MP El Cariso bouldering area page).

Description

The PG13 rating come from the potential fall when clipping the first bolt. If you fall its about 15 feet down onto some awkward boulders with some nasty leg breaking holes. luckily its 5.7 and its hard to fall. crux is climbing the arete mid way, not much of a crux but is sustained and tough for beginning climbers. belay from the large boulder below the climb. either rap down or scramble across boulders. There is a spot where the belay boulder is almost sitting on the boulder next to it, you can place a #9 BD hex if the belayer is lighter than the climber to prevent getting pulled off.
