The best 5.7 crack in San Diego!  Climb up a left facing dihedral with a frictiony face for feet and a Stellar Crack for hands and gear.  Exit up and right to a ledge on some exciting face climbing.

Stellar Crack

Gecko Staircase

Unfinished Business

Double Dragon Arete

A 2 pitch adventure up the Stellar Walls.  Pitch 2 is one of the more serious pitches in the area in terms of difficulty and bolt spacing.

P1 5.9 (Little Chicken, 80'):  Start from the ledge as for Stellar Crack and traverse left and up, following the bolts.  First move is protected by a medium nut.  Follows a series of overlaps and right facing dihedrals.  Anchor is way out to the right making the exit exciting for the second.

P2 5.10d (Unfinished Business, 120'):  Head up broken rock to a ledge from where it is hard to continue due to undercut feet and small hands.  Up and a step left from here.  The route gets progressively easier until a headwall is reached.  The headwall is entertaining with a slight overhang but good holds.

Overhanging granite with some good handholds leads to a wild crux bulge.

A prominent arete that offers both slippery and sticky rock.  One section is steep while the rest is more balancy.  It can be tricky to find the path of least resistance.
