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
Lowest right side of the wall. From the the big obvious red boulder, look at the wall and remember these photos...
Two bolts easily seen from the ground lead to the first short crux corner above a ledge. Extend the 3rd bolt several feet, or belay off the ledge above.
Above the 3rd bolt walk the ledge to it's right side. Optional belay here off additional gear(1"-3"), recommended in order to reduce rope drag if you don't like long extensions off your pro. Lieback the crack above, or step right off the ledge and jam the crack (crux). A bolt above draws you out left, stay even with or below the bolt for the traversing move left. A right trending crack leads to the rest of the bolts above. Bolted rap anchor.
The route climbs the margin of a large broken, loose area to the right. Don't rap or lower into this area.
From the anchor make one 95' rap down the slab to the right. Trend hard right.
From the optional gear belay off the ledge 50' up the route you can be lowered to the start of Bruzer Head with a 60 meter rope, again trending right.
