Published June 20, 2016 Our beloved California! When summer comes around it is inevitable to seek higher altitudes in order to escape the desert heat. For San Diego climbers, "Idyllwild" is our (somewhat) local retreat. Located in the middle of the Southern Californian desert landscape the 'Jacinto Mountains' stand as a mountainous island surrounded by brushy desert chaparral. San Jacinto peak is 10800 feet tall and really provides for a different feeling. Within a few minutes, rising from the desert floor, one experiences a switch from scarcely vegetated desert to pine tree mountains and forests. Often temperatures are much more comfortable and climbing is just excellent.Here on a stroll up 'Suicide Rock's' most popular climb passing by its most valued tree – "Flower of high rank, 5.9" classic!

Published February 29, 2016 Great weekend out climbing at mount Woodson on a @grottoclimbing field trip. We explored some sweet top rope climbs and laid down some crash pads… #chillinorockclimbing was happy to teach some rope skills such as belaying, tying in and basic anchoring. Such a great fun to bring our community together and explore our local rock playgrounds.@ntllrx @kepdep @boulderingjam @kmanderson9182 @gavcliff and more, thanks for coming out Share!Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)
Published April 20, 2015 Multi pitch climbing in Joshua Tree Nationalpark!! Whereas most climbs in JTree are in the single pitch range (30 – 120 feet/ 10m- 35m) this one is an ultra classic 3 pitch route on North Astro Dome! "Figures on a Landscape" is a 5.10b face climb with mostly bolts for protection! As with many bred climbs in Joshua Tree you have to be willing to run it out between the bolts – very beautiful climbing!

Published June 19, 2017 Let's start them young! Here is Lexi learning how to use a top rope setup belaying her sister. It is amazing how empowering a simple and yet highly responsible task can be. We surely had a a lot of challenges to tackle and were rewarded by great views. Thanks for coming out.
