I'm a minnesotan headed to the Morro Bay area for a vacation in about a month. I would really like to get some climbing in with my girlfriend and brother. We would be top roping.

Here is the closest toproping to Morro Bay, at either Rockland or Park Ridge Rock, which are formations at Cabrillo Peaks (the view of the estuary is superb):
For longer routes and, in my opinion, better climbing, try Cracked Wall at Bishop Peak. This is in San Luis Obispo, which is about twenty minutes from Morro Bay:
