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
P1. Start on a flake of questionable quality, clip the first bolt, crank through the crux, then continue more or less straight on up for ~160 ft of thoughtful and engaging slab climbing.
P2. More of the same, though a little easier, until you find yourself below a roof, crank around it on the right (p2 crux), and head on up to the chains. ~140 ft.
Long consistent pitches, well-bolted, quality climb all around.
Rap stations are pretty much straight down from the p2 anchors. They seem to be set up for 4 rappels with a 50m rope. A 60m doesn't buy you anything, but it looked like a 70m could get you down in 3.
