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

A fun first pitch off the ground protected by bolts sets you up to breach the only easy way thru the short, steep Headwall.

Makes for a great way to approach harder climbing higher up the mountain.

The knotted hand line at the base of First Tier is key to finding the start. From atop the hand line, the first two lines of bolts to the right is correct. The left most line is unnamed at the moment, and to the right is the shared start of Cool Cat and OJ. Cool Cat heads up and slightly right, while OJ trends hard left, traversing above the roof and into the slab above.

P1 90' 5.8 ~9bolts.

P2 85' 5.10 bolts and a rack of singles to 3". Lower off chains are visible from the belay. Don't hang out and belay from their uncomfortable location, there is another pair of bolts atop the Headwall if you're continuing higher.
