Sort of crazy that Matty wrote about the very route I was talking about this weekend out at Roubidoux, which also has some highball stuff.
To my knowledge, Sudden Impact was first bouldered by Bachar in the early to mid 1980s (no crash pads). There used to be a ton of bushes and poison oak around the area so you had to be very careful. I did the climb once, with no rope, and found the top to be pretty sketchy. And the lower pockets were full of grain and grit. It was probably an aid climb in the 1960s. Bachar's rating for the climb was 5.12-. I hope this has cleaned up because the moves are classic, the route had a great heritage, but it used to be pretty crappy, quality wise.
Don't fall . . .

If you look careful in the last pic. You will see our FA. Yes, inside the tunnel. During a cold and rainy day. We aided up the inside & wanted to aid down the other. But, the trains wouldn't stop coming.

Coincidences abound... About six years ago, I was in the market for a Mini Cooper--preferably used. ...looked all over, was willing to fly as far as Seattle to drive one home, even had a car head-hunter on the look out for one. No luck. No used Minis to be found for love or money back then.
Eventually, on cars.com or summat, I found one that exactly fit my requirements. It turned out that the owner lived on the the frontage road just west of Stoney Point. In Pyro's photo, you can just see the trees south of the house near that open field.
Still driving that rig...
How weird was that!?
