One of San Diego's Best!
Fantastic route! We skipped the first belay and climbed the route in 3 pitches. Hiking out the night before and climbing the route at first light is the way to go.

First multi pitch
lead all but the first pitch, the climbing is sustained with lots of holds, P3 has a fun but wierd traverse keep your eyes open i missed a bolt causing some serious runout. All a great way to introduce multi to someone
