Rosario

Has anybody climbed much at Rosario? Got any beta on the area to share (especially whether it stays dry, and if not, how soon it dries out)?

Rosario beach has one main wall called refrigerator wall. All sport the easiest is called (by the locals anyway) "the girlfriend route". i think it goes at 10 b/c? couple of 11's and bunch of twelves. you can generally go climb even after light rain since it is overhanging and is always in the shade and cool, thus its name. cool traverse too if you don't have a partner. i used to go there when it was raining and traverse/boulder. If you see a guy with two Burmese mt. dogs running laps on the 12's, that's Stu- tell him darryn said hi. I moved away about 3 years ago but love that wall.

The easiest route at Rosario, the S-Crack (10c), stays wet for a long time though. The Girlfriend Route is an 11a.

Just went there on Saturday. If you go, bring a wire brush, as some moss has grown over parts of some routes (eg the Girlfriend route). Also, some of the bolts are pretty corroded (I guess it is right by the ocean) so bolt replacement would be in order. But great hot weather climbing!

any pics?
