Description:

This is the high hanging canyon across from the tin pavilion and above the wave.

Access Issues: inherited from El Potrero Chico

Most of the climbing here is in a 'State' Park, but there is no fee. There are a few campsites and rooms available just down the road (i.e. 10 minute walk) from the park entrance.

Approach:

Climb "Argos", or the first pitch of "Kotu Mundi" or "Sandra" in "The Conundrums".
