The nest has moved each year so it might be different routes next season - we will move the tags and update you." - Matt from the Bay Area Climbers Coalition.
As of Oct 4, 2014, Summit Rock at Sanborn County Park is open seasonally to climbing on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Around January 2015, if nesting activity is observed by park rangers, climbing may be closed or limited to permits again. The free permit system limits access to 35 people a day, subject to the results of an ongoing peregrine/climber monitoring program. Climbers can call the Parks Department reservation line at 408-355-2201, give their contact information, and receive the free permit immediately by email. Please remember to close all gates and observe all posted signs.
Description
A really fun little route, starting with some steep shenanigans that lead straight into the deceptively hard and reachy crux. A small cave allows a sit down rest, then an easy but pleasant scramble leads to the surprisingly committing but easy layback to the anchors. 4 Bolts in total, and take along a long sling for a big thread betweenthe 3rd and 4th bolts. Double Bolt lower off (take long slings to reduce drag over the bulgy lower walls) - the last climber should scramble up for another couple of metres to the rap anchors. It's a good idea to stick clip the first Bolt, as clipping it from the first ledge is dodgy if you're shorter than Shaq.
