Cool, Ron.
I heard that Henny, on the 15th, is going to do a leavitation demonstration for aspiring wide aficionados. Can anyone verify this? Henny?

Heres what I have found out.
The East side of Mt Woodson (the side the road is on)is owned by the city of San Diego, and designated as the "Mt Woodson Open Space Area", which is included in The Black Mountain Open Space (City)Park. There is nothing about woodson on the BM open space park website, but the city of San Diego's site, parks and recreation section lists woodson within BMOSP.
There seems to be no budget, staff or general plan for the woodson open space area, and no information on woodson is offered, either online or in the city's available publications. I could not find a map delineating the actual boundaries of the city owned space, but it generally includes the upper half of the west side, upper half of the SW side, all of the South side and the west side down to the water tank.
The city of Poway owns the lower west and southwest sides, and the southern basin. The Ramona Municipal Water District owns the water tank and the land on the north side of the paved road below the tank. The Calfire camp is on RMWD land.
The city of ramona claims the north and NE side and all the land below. The access gate on Mt Woodson (private) drive is in unincorporated SD county, so the county controls access through that gate.
Ok, so when we climb on woodson, we are parking on a state highway (67) on SD county land, crossing state (calfire) property to get to Ramona Water District land (the paved road), and once we pass the water tank, we are in city of San Diego open space. No less than 6 official entities have jurisdiction over various areas on and around woodson.
The best thing we, as climbers can do is not draw attention or complaints.
Pack your trash out and be low key, especially where trail building, bolting or any rearrangement of the topography is concerned.
As for the sign, somebody at the BMOSP must have had a slow day.

Gary, that print was made from a photo taken by Peter Campos sometime in the early 90's. The sillhouettes from left to right are, Peter Campos, myself and Rick Allenby. We are standing on the west wall of the vomitorium casting a perfect late afternoon shadow on the rock opposite us (just to the right of death vomit). I will post that pic as soon as i can find it.

Doug, that was supposed to be a secret.
Fat is where it's at. I'm all over it. But I think I made that clear in my original top 5 problem list.
Show starts at 8:00 sharp.
Not.

Nice pics!
SB gets a Spring cleaning!
edit: of course i know your not "cleaning" per say...perhaps pre-chalking one/some a dem slick undercling holds. it's been a long time, but one of my favorite probs, thanks for this interesting angle/shot. ahhh, it rekindles such poignant memories from my glutton for punishment days...

Awesome, Doug on the Warm Up boulder seam....hey, I know I'm playing the eliminate card, but whats that flake/sidepull doing chalked up next to the crack? Lol, out of bounds guys, FINGERS ONLY in the crack! I know, you didn't use it, just sayin'.
Pat Ament even wrote one of his infamous shorts and commented on the sandbag nature of that "10d" seam during a visit to Woodson, too funny. I wish I could locate and post it.
Ron, what is Bat Crack? That thing in the picture looks wide, and appears low angled, what the heck is that?

I was on the hill this afternoon and that new park sign was nowhere to be seen. Maybe that heavy rain we had yesterday washed it away?

Nah, the bottom of Bat Flake is a dihedral with a finger crack in the corner. How about Elsa's Crack?
Yeah, those rains can be pretty darn heavy up there...uhemm (sorry, had to clear my throat, getting over a chest cold).
