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

Start on the kinda sharp orange inclusion and traverse left until you have to mantel up. The crux is getting on top. In the beginning of the climb there is a move where you press your knee into your hand, this was necessary for all 4 of us climbing that day.

Location

If you are at pizza face keep going over the hill and instead of taking the trail right, go left along and down some boulders and find the trail down hill. take it about 100 feet or so.
