Description 

This is the main chunk of rock you see on the left (on the downhill side) as you drive up Gibraltar road. On the south-east side are a few easy routes which are frequently toproped, and on south and south-west sides there are a good handful of quality routes ranging from 5.8-5.12+.


Getting There 

On the west side are trails to the bottom and top of the rock.

Featured Route For Gibraltar Rock
To quote a good friend of mine, "it sure is tough living in Santa Barbara!"

The Nose 5.11  CA : Central Coast : ... : Gibraltar Rock
A short section of steep hand jamming gives way to moderate (5.6) face climbing. Certainly the steepest jams within 100 miles. When toproping, avoid falling early in the roof or potentially swing into the spike. Approach: Hike down to the bottom of the main block and curve around towards the west slightly. You'll know it when you see it. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in CA

Can you belay a TR from the ground with a 60m rope or do you have to belay from the top?
