FA: unknown, refer to Slater
California > Central Coast > San Luis Obispo > Cabrillo Peak > Park Ridge Rock

Description

This route follows the obvious crack on the left side of Park Ridge Rock. I would say that this route is a 5.6 others say that it is harder...

Protection

This route has three solid bolts at the top. There isn't much good trad placement available but it is possible.

[Hide Comment] Just lead this today. There are some decent opportunities to place 0.1 - 0.3 cams and small nuts. I carried totems and X4s. Placing a nut really low increases rope in the system which would reduce force on tiny nuts at the questionable hollow sounding block that would otherwise be the second piece. There is now an opportunity for a black totem for a 3rd piece. The void used to be filled with soft rock that I thought might hold a small nut... Nov 28, 2020
