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
The first 2 bolts are fairly easy (5.7), then the next 2 bolts are more challenging (5.9) with thin feet and crimpy holds. You'll hit the last bolt and need to go left to the anchors. At this point you would need to place a piece of gear (.75 and lower cams) to protect the transfer (you would take a decent fall). Then climb through the crack and up to a set of anchors. The footing is okay. There's a notch for one foot and you can almost sit as well. Would get cramped if you belayed up another person.
