California > Central Coast > Santa Barbara > Santa Barbara… > Kill Bill Boulders

Location

Walk up Rattlesnake canyon for 30-45 minutes. Take a trail to the right near a three pronged tree and evade the copious amounts of poison oak invading the trail. walk up the other side of the canyon and at the first switchback you'll see a side drainage and up that the boulder.

Description

Large overhanging face lurking back behind the trees when approaching on the trail. Climb the right arete using heel hooks and a useful face hold. A hidden right hand crimp allows you to jump for a jug at the very tip of the prow, proceed to mantle (spicy) on said jug and take it to the top! Perhaps climbed in the past...

Protection

Pads, moderately good landing
