Access Issue: Raptor Nesting Advisory
Details
Please avoid raptor nests. El Cajon Mountain- Golden Eagles nested successfully at this site in 2009, after relocating twice between alternate nest sites. The Golden Eagle nest at El Cajon Mountain was not successful in Spring 2010. This nest was successful and fledged young in 2011 - 2021. Details from USFS posted here: fs.usda.gov/detail/clevelan…
The El Cajon Mountain climbing area is in close proximity to the San Diego River Park Foundation property. This property's purpose is to protect and conserve San Diego's threatened habitat and wildlife in perpetuity. Specifically, the San Diego River Park Foundation are protecting golden eagles that nest in the area and ceanothus, a California lilac that is an endemic sensitive plant species. Please avoid and limit recreational activities at the San Diego River Park Foundation property to promote San Diego's threatened habitat and wildlife. Thank you!

Description
Crystalean (crystil-ian) - An obscure belief that consuming minerals in their purest form will lead to a transcendant, enlightened existence.
Pitch 1. Opional 3-4" cam to protect getting to the first bolt. 90'. Bolted anchor/rap (not visible from the ground).
A large right facing dihedral mottled grey and red is the dominant feature at the base of the left side of the Left Wall. Get established in the corner without landing on your belayer, and look for the bolt up left in the face of the dihedral. Climb out of the dihedral past the bolt and carry on above past 5 or 6 more bolts. Towards the top you should encounter the namesake crystal hold. Lick it, and transcend to the anchor.
It is said that this climb is easier, if first you eat a little dirt.
