Access Issue: Road Closure in Effect Details

SR 38
[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

A difficult mantle start (5.10+) gains a crack/seam and then a small ledge. Above the ledge face climbing leads into a short section of crack and the top.

This, the first and perhaps still the best route on the formation, was originally done with 3 bolts and a key RP in a seam just below the current 2nd bolt (which was added later to make it better protected).

Location

Located just right of Redman on narrow south face.

Protection

4 bolts, gear to 2 inches

bolted anchor/rap
