Gonna be down in the central coast for one day, Wednesday. Where is the spot / classics to hit? Trad up to 5.9, sport up to 11b.

thanks!

If you're in SLO, tick "P-Crack" at Bishop Peak. Quite a few good climbs at Bishop Peak.

Agreed on P-Wall @ Bishop Peak.

If you're on the southern end of the Central Coast north of Ojai (about an hour detour on the PCH), Sespe Wall has some fantastic easy-moderate crack climbing and then you can head down back down the highway 20 minutes for a very dense concentration of sport climbing at Wheeler Gorge. Have fun!

FWIW, you'll probably get better info if you post in the Southern California section.

You can get three pretty slammin moderate cracks at Sespe Black Wall. Ending Crack, Tree Root, and possibly less famous but still great, Pipe Cleaner. If it's hot, you can wait till afternoon when the wall goes into shade.

Ps. Bring double ropes for this area.

Pps. I might be a bit off on geography, as mentioned above Sespe is further south but it is awesome!

Ppps. Panic Town by Santa Barbara is pretty neato if you're desperate for trad...

if you're coming to santa barbara.... the classics you should really tick off are Lilys Tacos and Sushi Go-Go ;)

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
