Closed MORE INFO >>>
Santa Clara County Department of Parks and Recreation Dept. has closed Summit Rock to climbing year-round to protect peregrine falcons. The AF is working to reduce this to a closure for the nesting season only, which is the standard management approach.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project.
You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description This route begins below a large rock in the middle of the lower tier of climbing. A fun route that has an overhung section, some neato caves, and also a tough slab section at the top.
Falling prior to the first clip is really not a great idea, as the bounce into the glassy sand deck wouldn't be fun. The section after the 2nd bolt is runout, but simple and fun.
The crux is getting to the last bolt on a balancy slab.
Protection 5 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.

| Aron forgot to mention that the climb "slabby crux" also involves a very slopey arete, and that if you fall before you clip the second bolt, you're in for a ~30 foot land fall, so don't do that. But like he mentioned, its easy climbing at this point. |

| This is really an ejoyable route. I felt this is mentally harder than Skill Saw Groumet (11D) for me. I brought a sling to garth hitch to the pillow to protectthe 2nd clip (or the 3rd clip? if you clip to the left side bolt near the first bolt). Though the crux is a slab section with arete, my arms were really pumped! |
