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!

The Toe area is technically located in the El Capitan Open Space Preserve sandiegocounty.gov/parks/op… and less than 4,000' from an active golden eagle nesting site. Agreements between climbers and county officials have never been reached to officially allow climbing and development in this particular part of El Cajon Mountain. This is the exact reason why 3 others areas have been omitted from public eyes. I personally don't think it's a good idea to make this information public just yet for fear of losing access all together. -Dave Alden
Description
This is an alternate start to Swine Flu starting in the recess 20 ft to the right. The bolt line is obvious and can be made considerably more difficult if followed directly or toned down a bit if climbed to the right side of the bolts. Continue up and left till route joins Swine Flu at belay chains. Repel from here or continue up Swine Flu.
