Description 

A 40+ pitch trad route up the knifeblade ridge to the summit of El Toro. This route is a serious endeavour with lots of loose blocks and sparse pro. It is alpine adventure in a sport-climber's Mecca.


Location 

Starts at the top of the overlook platform and goes up the obvious ridgeline.


Protection 

Trad.

The Scariest Ride in the Park has seen several 3-hour free-solo ascents.

It's also the route on which Jimmy Ray Forester lost his life attempting a free solo.
