I’m back up in Monterey now thanks to some kind people with a truck. The landslide blocking hwy1 is not possible to cross. It’s too steep and is actively sliding. Do not be like me and think ‘ohh I’ll just get across once the crews go home ‘ nope it is just a hard no go.
To the right of the picture is an immediate cliff down to the water. Behind the slide in the picture is another one that’s all sand. The rocks are too loose to trust your footing and the pitch is too steep to walk across casually, especially casting camping gear or a bike. When I was about halfway across the first hill a small landslide started and large rocks were falling around me. Not ideal.

Everything is bikeable. Just have to want to either hike it or have the chops and equipment to bike it.
What is Hwy 1?
Thanks for the tip. I’ve done a few trips through Big Sur and was wondering if it was open again. Looks like you could hike inland a bit to be safe, but that would be a big hike.
