@chefnickbrune taking another lap on a Mission Trails classic line named "Mission Control, 5.8". For many climbers in the county this is often their first lead climb. It is very safe – completely bolted with only two crux moves towards the top. Beautiful granite, a little slick here and there will teach you how to apply just the right amount of pressure on your toes.
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
On our way to Mount Woodson with the Grotto crew @grottoclimbing. It's a gorgeous day in SoCal ? and we are ready to put up some Top Ropes and lay down some pads.
@natyuralroots cannot stop smiling! It was her first time on natural rock and she literally rocked it. Many first timers believe that outdoor rock climbing is more difficult or harder… we were there to proof the opposite!! Nice low angle climbing on beautiful granite allowed us to rest up in the middle of the climb to prepare us for the next move. Easy peesy ;) come and find out! And it's much more beautiful outside anyways… There is something about the view, sun, birds, wind, nature… that never gets boring.
Sometimes you gotta reconsider your moves! Step back, reflect, get a different perspective… then try again ??? Never give up ?
Our local climbing areas are so full of beauty. Here Thomas with @blockout_nz enjoying an airy rappel off the "tower" that oversees the giant outcrop of Eagle Peak. There is multi pitch climbing up to 4-5 pitches on superb granite. Nearby 3 sisters waterfall attracts many local people to the are. However, not many make it out to te cliff which is only a decent 45min hike from the parking! A beautiful day with awesome people here in San Diego

Mission Trails Rock Climbing in San Diego
Awesome day with Kat! She came all the way from Colorado to visit her brother. What a great opportunity to check out our local climbing here in sunny San Diego. It is clearly not Kat’s first time on the rock! As she knew how to tie in and belay we moved fast! We climbed 7 routes – most of them in multi-pitch style where I belayed her from the top. Up there I taught her how to rig her own rappel with a safety back-up. There is a huge benefit to being up at the anchor with your guide! You can see all set-ups in action and receive hands-on instruction.I am grateful for every day that I am out teaching. Thanks Kat for being part of this. Can’t wait for more adventures!
