This route gets you to the top of the highest point on Bishop Peak, the True Summit. The crux is the last move just before you top out.

Sunset Arete

Sidewinder

Asymptote

Climb the arête on the northwest side of the True Summit Block. The hardest part is either getting off the ground or the mono up a little higher with the right hand, depending on your strengths. The arête stays in your left hand for most of the way.

Wide Crack Testpiece of the Central Coast.

Climb the north side of the True Summit Block. Not sure if anyone has ever led or climbed this route. Rumor has it that it was bolted by Ryan Bello in the 80s or early 90s.

It looks like a short crack with a chockstone in it from far away, maybe a two move wonder at best. But it's 9 or 10 moves of fist/ow out of a roof crack, with fairly good jamming and technical feet the whole way.

Top rope the face just to the right of the Sunset Arete. The grade varies depending on your route. Still a bit loose.

Top Rope the Arete below the summit register.

Start in the lowest cave and wind your way up and left.

Quality route that gets you to the highest point on the peak. Very satisfying.

Route is cleaned up well.

Crux is between bolts 2 and 3.

Favorite Route...Ever.
