Parting Of The Red Sea offers a rugged, hands-on climbing experience on the shaded slabs and corners of Golden Gate Canyon State Park. This route demands close attention and solid gear skills on uneven, sometimes sticky rock that clings to your fingers and tests your footwork. The climb begins in a tight corner that quickly opens to a slab peppered with horizontal breaks, requiring balance and careful movement. As you ascend, the rock changes character, presenting a sequence of corners that lead to a short, angling handcrack where precision placements matter. Without bolts or fixed anchors, this route emphasizes self-reliance—clean gear placements are essential for both safety and confidence. The climb’s single pitch stretches 75 feet vertically, giving just enough exposure to feel invested without overwhelming. Within the quiet forest setting, you’ll find the rock’s patches of shade provide welcome relief on warmer days, while the varying textures invite tactile exploration. Though rated at a modest 5.8, the awkward sections and gunk-slicked surfaces can challenge your approach to technique and gear. Ideal for the trad climber who values an honest, straightforward line away from crowded areas, this climb blends accessible length with subtle complexity. Planning your ascent requires reliable rack preparation, solid footwear for slab moves, and timing your visit to avoid the midday sun when the rock can stick stubbornly to wet or dusty hands. Access is approachable via well-marked trails that ease you into the quiet mountain terrain surrounding Golden. Altogether, Parting Of The Red Sea invites climbers ready to engage fully with the rock’s personality and the forest’s calm companionship.
