Muwekma Ohlone Rites Stone
While checking out the south side of Indian Rock (nope, not the one near Berkeley, rather the one in Sanbon Park), I noticed this small formation of rocks that remained mostly unmolested by climbers (”If you can’t scale it, screw it. If you can’t screw it, eat it. If you can’t eat it, drink it. If you can’t drink it - forget it” as the Cliff Bums say). Further research (read: “I asked someone”) revealed that indeed this used to be a sacred rites stone for the Thamien Muwekma Ohlone of the area.
