Cerro Romauldo is a climbing area in California, about 2.6 miles from the town of Goldtree. It sits close to several other climbing spots, including The Wave, which lies just 0.1 mile away, and San Luis Obispo and True Summit Block, both within about 2 miles. The area has three routes, two of which are mixed and one is sport. Grades run from 5.7+ to 5.8 on the YDS scale. Rainbow Ballet is a mixed route at 5.7+, and Rainbow Pools is a mixed route at 5.8. Frosted Flakes is the sport route at 5.8. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in San Luis Obispo show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 80°F, with almost no wet days in July and August. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the area, so temperatures at Cerro Romauldo run cooler. Nearby, Bishop Peak Trail and Felsman Loop Trail are both about 2 miles away. For an overnight stay, Cerro Alto and Morro Bay State Park Campground are each within about 8 miles.
