Description Suggest change

This climb starts matched on the super nicely textured grey crimp.  Then bust out left hand to a super nice horizontal pocket.  Then, move feet maybe and go to the crimp rail inside the protruding horn, and the tricky top-out is the crux.  Super fun and satisfying climb, and 4 stars for the overall experience in my opinion.  V4 grade applies for climbing it BAREFOOT, which I would highly recommend.  Brushing holds helps.  Tide should not be high, but overall this isn't a very tide dependent boulder (Less than 3ft is a safe bet).

This is not near people's wall, it's a 10min drive south at North Bird Rock.

Protection Suggest change

Bring a pad there can be large stones in the sand sometimes. Risk of rock itself breaking, but it seems quite solid compared to the rest of the sandstone blocs in La Jolla.
