The Eagle Peak Area is a climbing area in California's Long Ridge Open Space Preserve, on land managed as regional agency land. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with the Old Problem List and Devil's Canyon each about 0.1 mile away, and Stoner Cave at the same short distance. The climbing here is sport climbing, with a few mixed routes. The grade range runs from 5.8 up to 5.11a. Among the routes are The Claw Right at 5.8, Face-Corner at 5.9, and The Beak at 5.11a. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 67°F and October highs around 71°F, with only a handful of wet days in late summer. For a change from the rock, Peter's Creek Falls Trail and Chestnut Trail are both about 0.3 mile away. Pescadero Creek, about 6.7 miles off, offers canoeing.
