Ortega Falls

This short waterfall and cascade below is seasonally quite wet, even serious class C during a wet winter / spring. It a good place to practice rappeling dry or wet as there are many anchor option, including some bolts used for rock climbing and slack lining. The 5.7 dihedral corner and cracks DCR is a superb rock climb too!

Park at the obvious huge gravel pulloff and follow any of the trails for a few minutes to the falls. There is a steep trail DCR that goes to the top of the falls.

To rappel the main waterfall, you will need to build an anchor with rocks or climbing gear, and you will definitely want to remove if afterwards as it will disappear!

Follow the approach trail back.
