Description Suggestion

Looking for a day of climbing by the beach? Well . . . the stuff *on* the beach is pretty crumbly, but how about across from it? Come on out to Cabrillo Peak on a nice sunny day and enjoy a toproping and sport leading heaven. It's a great place to take beginners, and it is really the only area near San Luis Obispo that has easier routes. The rock is a bit slippery, which can make for exciting leads, but it is oh-so-photogenic.

Cabrillo Peak, 911', is one of the Nine Sisters or the Morros (which include Morro Rock, Cabrillo Peak, Black Hill, Hollister Peak, Cerro Romauldo, Chumash Peak, Bishop Peak - 1559', San Luis Peak, and Ishlay Hill) that are a chain of volcanic mountains of San Luis Obispo County of Central California. The rock type is primarily Dacite, an igneous rock of volcanic origin. Originally magma welled up underneath a layer of softer rock and solidified. The softer overlying rock has mostly since eroded away.
