Find the old rusty aid line on the steepest part of the rock and it is easy to spot the line of new bolts that cuts across. Begin up an easy ramp to the first of 4 bolts trending up and right under the roof. A balancey mantle allows access to the crux traverse. Bring your techy slab skills and dance across some small crimps to an awesome jug and intimidating mantel around the corner.

No bolted anchor, but can be TR'd with an extended anchor from the large tree or created with a small selection of finger-sized cams.

Chorro Willows Aid Climb

Joked as the county's first grade V because it took Larry and Dave 2 days to hand drill the bolts. The hangers were made in Morro Bay High School metal shop. The crux is getting out of your aiders at the top.

5 bolts. Start at the lowest part of the rock by the big oak tree. Follow the obvious ramp that moves left on various jugs, slopers and sidepulls. After the 4th bolt you will find the crux, an awkward mantle up onto a good ledge. 1 more bolt to the top. No Anchor chains.
