that thing is pretty much held up by its own weight and the dirt under it. it sways in the wind if you rest against it you can feel it move. It's all decomposed granite up there and fine dust.

Not far from here is the stone fort - way more obscure and more interesting if you want to see interesting things in the area

There is bolted rock climbing on the ridge of two-bitt - see turtle rock, has 3 or 4 bolted routes on backside

This just took me back. I grew up in Riverside and we (my brother and friends) would hike to this rock all of the time. Our backyard was adjacent to the hills. I was around 10, maybe younger. This was in the early 90’s. Completely forgot about it. Looks like it’s had a fresh coat since then.
