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
Surprised this route wasn't listed yet: it's an obvious trail to the top ledge where Tears of Envy, Black Castle and the final pitch of the Commander all start.
Fun climbing at a moderate grade with excellent protection the whole way up. All belays are on good ledges.
Easily link P1 & P2 with a 60m and tolerable rope drag (one Alpine draw helps in the middle).
P3 is the right most bolt line from the right most belay.
The start of P4 is further right than I thought on the Command Center ledge, almost under a sort of roof with dark rock. Fun variation is to do P4 of The Commander instead (5.10b).
