Access Issue: Details

Please continue to be good land stewards and mindful of LADWP.

1) Never park or camp overnight at the access points.
2) Always park off the pavement, taking great care to avoid blocking the gates.
3) Clean up after your dogs. (Local climbers are finding abandoned doggie poop bags.)
4) Pack out all trash and TP, including picking up after others.
5) Use the outhouses if at all possible.

Description

Climbs the prominent flake up the middle of the east wall. Decent climbing, but the flake does not inspire a ton of confidence. Felt oddly alpine considering the location.

Location

Flake up the middle of the wall. Can't miss it.

Protection

Gear to #3. Anchor is a fixed nut and a wedged knot. There was also a manky bolt. Not the definition of bomber.
