The Cube

California > Central Coast > San Luis Obispo > Bishop Peak

Description

A big detached cubic block, up and right of the P Wall and Grotto, up and left of shadow. Some faces are vertical, some radically overhanging. 4 Toprope bolts on top for various routes, but not all have hangers. Bring a wrench, and maybe some wires.

Getting There

Best approach is from the highest anchor on Shadow, or scrambling down from the East Summit Blocks.

If poison oak bothers you even a little, dont waste your time. It's 10 feet tall and thick.
