MAP
A concentrated climbing area on a series of outcrops with flat grassy landings and and ocean view. Great late fall/early spring location. Very protected area from northern winds with great southern exposure.

The Foundation Outcrop

The problems are located on the north face below the bunker. Many projects. All Hard.

5. Foundation SDS V13*unconfirmed star

Start right hand on good trigular hold, left hand small crimp. Climb up into seam and then into large heuco for unique topout. Left jug at base of crack is excluded for hands or feet. (FA Ben Smith 2017)

This climb is a beta PhD thesis! 🎓 Consult Dr. Smith's dissertation below for guidance.

Begin right hand on the good hold, left a bit lower on a bad crimp. Far left foot on the good ledge (in from the good bit), right on the obvious foot. Execute a hard pull into a savage drop knee, then hit the small left hold with a good thumb catch. Adjust feet and make a big move up with the left to hit the bad hold in the crack with the left ring finger in the good spot. Pinch the low hold, pull the left foot off, and endure a heinous cut. Step up onto the foot, perform a greasy toehook, and make a hard move out right to the bad crimp. Get the thumb, place a higher gross toe hook, and bump left into the good hold. Cheat a little with a pinky jam in the corner of the hold match. Big foot out left, and the end is relatively easy.
6. Prelude to Foundation V7 star

Start standing on "best" holds in the seam, hard move to crimps, tricky topout
