Looks like recent climbing on the parking lot side of the tall formation by the jetty. Lots of chalk on solid sandstone. Anyone checked this out?

Still looking for a legit response. Any Pirate's Cove local's tried these problems on the parking lot side?

If you want to get your "Cove" on, you need to blow off that low fluff by the cement stairs and move across to the big boy's turf by the Ordinance Crack and The Brain, the high shite across the way. It's a little like climbing a sand castle but higher.
Look out below . . .

The formation shown in the pic has a cool overhanging diagonal traverse in the chimney/gulley that you access from the waters edge. Just pop around the corner and into the notch. Or...do you mean the face hanging over the sidewalk? That face gets a little otd. Done it on tr though.
The little pillar near the grassy area has a cool route and variations up the steep side.
ps. it was all done 40 yrs ago!

My avitar photo is in that cove. Use to damn near live at that place in the 70's and 80's. Never did anything on the parking lot side.....all the babes were on the jetty side.
Peace

Doubt it on this stuff, D. I'm talking about the detached block on the jetty side next to the "jetty closed" warning sign. No sign of any climbing activity before now. There is a nice prow to the right of it with loads of chalked holds. Just checking at things I've never seen before. Maybe the originals up to now can shed some light on this

If you are talking about the rocks between the picnic area and the big dumpsters, they have been done before. Given the history of the place, I believe that every hold there (with the exception of the new ones whether from broken rock or manufactured,) has been used in almost every imgaginal way. It is still a fun place to explore. There are many things that will be "new to you" and have not been offically documented anywhere. There is an enjoyable low traverse just past the picnic area. If you go there enough, you will begin to recognize the locals. They have more history than any guide book or rockclimbing.com (as is often the case).
Have fun exploring there. I sure did.
PM me if you need some ideas on variations or obscure stuff there. However, Largo would be a far better source than me as I imagine we are all just following his lines.
