I believe it is closed..... signs posted all the way around.

Some sort of endangered zone...special study area and the people doing the studying.... well they all graduated and took up studying Frogs.

Sounds like a great destination to experience the heat right now.

Lol.

It's a nice place mid winter but right now, you might die from the heat.

It's a wilderness reserve and the University of California studies the area. The best stuff is fenced off and closed.

Anyone ever climb the bolted route that follows a dike on a north-facing crag within sight of Cosmic's crag in his photo? Maybe 80 or so feet.

I've camped there a few times but never had climbing gear. The rock seemed incredibly coarse. Bring lots of tape if you plan to jam anything. Scary coarse.
