Description
One of the best lines in the Preserve is located on a van-sized boulder overlooking a bunch of brush.
Make your way up the gently overhanging feature on chalked, sloper ledges.
Location
It is in the Western Area off the east side of Patrick's Point. The boulder is a big piece of the bedrock that has slumped off from the rest of the cliff. It can be easily reached by hiking west along the Rim Trail to the Point Trail and scrambling down to it (this avoids the majority of the brush). If you're coming from the Eastern Area, you'll likely be walking in the creek plain and will need to bushwhack through the thicker vegetation coming off the minor draw that separates the Central Area from Patrick's Point.
Protection
Pads and a spotter.
