Description Suggest change

There are two developed rocks along Hicks Road: Roadside Rock and Guadalupe Rock. Roadside has essentially no approach and Guadalupe has a very short approach. A very convenient climbing area if you live in the South Bay.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive down Hicks Road until you get to the reservoir. Roadside is at the end nearest to San Jose, Lower Guadalupe is at the far end.
