Horse flats is not obscure...
I agree, but most people go to HF to boulder. I know people who boulder there, and have never end heard of the top rope wall

Me and my wife go out there once a year for rock collecting trips, pink chalcedony roses, and gravel.
It's a great place for primative camping and exploring

Picacho Peak, just north of Winterhaven. Surmounted by ladders, low 5th, and a bit of roped trickery.
Note: I did this peak agai last month and this wood ladder has now been replaced with an aluminum one. This first, lower wood ladder remains in place

Those photos of the Mojave remind me of the Sinai Peninsula. Really striking. About as barren a landscape as one can image, the difference being, in the latter, people have eeked out a hardscrabble existence for thousands of years.

Guy, maybe what he is implying is that they only managed to eke out a living
in the Sinai while the people here were living large. I mean they don't call
it the 'Golden State' for nothing, right?

OK, not obscure although I'll wager not many of you have seen it from this perspective:
And how many have visited this little gem across the lake?
Regional Indian Museum
There's these right above the parking lot:

Guyman, Offwhite's got the general vicinity correct.....heading north from highway 8 and between Descanso and Oakzanita.
Another view of it.
And a little pinnacle just up the road, past Green Valley campground

Thanx.... I don't get down in SD much. My Grandparents were instrumental in the original development of Rancho Bernardo, way way back when one could ride a mini-bike east with out anybody getting uptight.
Been thinking about figuring out the camping scene, climbing scene, after all the post here about the cool climbing.

Off...is that you on the right?
So Spider. A Texas Canyon clone???
TY.... some place in the AF?
Lots of rockpiles on Mt. Waterman, Rincon and I hiked from around where the Horse Flat road leaves the Crest Hwy... Pacific crest trail for a bit... around to the south faceing side of Waterman. Up hill for about 30 min to a formation .... a crack running right up it, it went about 10b, no pinscars nothing. I wish we hauled a camera, I can't believe no one has claimed the FA. It was a FA for us.
keep em coming.
