Could not find the playground
Friday December 16, 2011 1:59pm
Back in September a few of us ventured out to find the so called "playground" following the approach directions from the Bayarea topropes. We were even took the same picture from pg 44 where some rusty anchors are shown. The anchors are still there but still could not find any of the routes. We search for hours with no luck. Maybe some of the locals can post some better beta on how to get there. For the time being, I believe that was my first and last trip to Salt Point to climb.

Boy that's lame!

Everyone knows it's about one third of the way south of the navel towards the knees.

Lots of bushwacking on the approach.
