Eagle Rock: Didn't notice if this place was mentioned yet.

I don't remember where it is exactly but you could see it from the freeway while still in the metropolitan city of LA on the way to JT and TQ.

We stopped there once and found it to be conglomerate sand with river rocks embedded in it. There were a few bolted routes we could see. But when we found one of the river rocks on the ground with bolt and hanger still in it we bailed.

Both trad and "sport" at this little gem. Sweeter when the water fall is flowing.

Not rock, but just as obscure and far more temporary.

Tony, is that the ice you were telling me about a few weeks ago? Up in Angeles Crest?
I may need to buy some new boots and get back into ice if it is.

Thanks Warbler! You as well. That Sharma Arete is tough, still workin on it. The one just to the right seems impossible! There's some great stuff down there...the rock and the features are amazing.

Man...that's really a shame. So many access issues guarding such rad areas in SD county. It bums me out!

Woot! I hope so too.

We are experiencing minor access issues ourselves with this place. It's technically public land but would be sensitive to crowds. We're also just milking it while we can haha.


It's not just bouldering, too. Only 4 routes right now, but more on the way.

Damn! I gave it away. I knew I was risking it with that pic haha. The Warbler knows all...
I actually haven't been on the routes myself, but the photos look great. I plan on getting on them within these next couple weeks.

So what's the deal with this place? I know someone who's been there and I'm pretty sure I know where it's at.

a wink + two choss posts, means its under the radar and probably will yield good lines once bolted.

Damn. Sounds epic. Is it accessible? I think I remember hearing about two entry points, one through private property and the other was public but longer. I'm pretty positive I found the cliff on google earth.

It sounds amazing. I'll have to try to make it out there sometime. I've been to Eagle Peak a few times and plan on going back soon. It's pretty incredible there..can't wait to go when it's not 80 degrees out!

Oh… That reminds me…

At the end of March, I rode my MTB up Barrett Stoddard Truck trail. This fine and obscure ride departs from Mt. Baldy Road near the Valley of The Trash—another ancient and obscure climbing site—not all that far from the Baldy Boulders.

While I was focused on descending into Stoddard Canyon and then climbing Frankish Peak, I chanced to traverse below some very hunkish cliffs right above the truck trail. Equipped with fixed ropes and everything…

Who wants to fess up to this bit of obscura? Hmmm?
