Santa Cruz Classic-“Bates Arete”

Intro Outdoor Rock Climbing San Diego

A must climb if you are in the area. Castle Rock’s sandstone boulders are awesomely smooth with many sloper type of climbs. The guidebook compares CRB with Fotainebeleau which makes sense… just not as many climbs. Totally worth a stop when traveling through.

Great Day of Exploring Some Local Rock

Intro Outdoor Rock Climbing San Diego

Dr. D and I were psyched to be taken out by Craig Phares who showed us around on his backyard circuit. SoCal seems to never disappoint! We climbed some world class problems in the middle of just another boulder sprinkled hillside near Hemet. It is great to realize how much potential and actually unclimbed rock there is everywhere around us. A lot of of these rocks have not seen many hands on them. Here you can see Craig stylin one of the warm up climbs
