Details
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
A fast, fun way, far up into the heart of the wall. Finishing on the Center Block arete pitch of The Diamond of San Diego is spectacular and sets you up well to crag the Headwall.
Location
Use the Center Direct beta to get into the corner system in the center of The Wedge.
Scramble up to the Command Center start ledge and belay off bolts on the right side. Link the right trending 5.6 pitches that lead to the 3rd pitch belay of Being and Nothingness.
After the initial three bolts leave this corner system to the left via an optional, extended 3" piece. Shown here.
At about 90' you'll encounter an optional belay (bolts) below and right of the Center Block above you.
Extend or skip this belay and use the bolt up left to crank the last crux onto the bolted stance on the far right side of the Command Center Ledge (which is the Diamond of San Diego belay).
But don't stop here, continue on up the arete, enjoying the exposure, rock quality, and comfort of the ledge atop the Center Block
Protection
~12 bolts. A long draw or runner here and there. Optional 3" cam on the 2nd pitch. One or two small/medium cams if you opt for the 5.9 Center Direct start.
