Details
Per
Diego Concha: I called the DCR today and spoke to a ranger who said they no longer allow climbing at Rattlesnake Rocks because of endangered species that live near the crag and are sending climbers to Quincy Quarries nearby.
Description
Scramble to the inside corner underneath the Six Pack roof (you can't miss it!). Traverse slightly left on the (slabby) face using thin hand and foot holds. Then pull through (or left) of the narrow slot (crux). Use face holds and/or hidden holds within the slot/roof.
Location
Climb up through the slot on the (climber's) left of the huge Six Pack roof.
Protection
A toprope or larger cams (BD #4 (with reach) and/or #5 for the slot/crux).
