Anyone climb? (boulder, sport climb...)

So just wondering who here rock climbs. I joined a rock climbing gym in august and fell in love with the sport. Only sad thing is I have yet climb out doors. Just wondering if anyone here from southern california that hit up the outdoors and want to take a trip

 

Hell yes.



Picture of me and my buddy at White Buddah in Kananaskis Country, west of the Rockies in Canada.

Boulder, Climb. Haven't done ice or Trad. I think I want to live so I might give those a miss.

 

your picture is a red X. I wanna learn how to lead climb sometime within the month. I live about an hr away from joshua tree, which i know a major hot spot for climbing. rock climbing is one reason i got my truck, to carry things in, along with snowboarding

 

Well damn, bloody thing works for me, not sure how to fix it.

Lead climbing outdoors is probably the most exciting and harrowing thing you can do. Specially when you're on an undercling 10 feet past the last clip and trying to clip in with one hand to the next bolt while reaching OVER the under cling. Specially when you slip and fall. 10 feet of rope equals a 20 foot fall. Not always fun.

Make sure you void your bowls before attempting.

 

yea im all about climbing. love it actually. i havent climbed out west yet, but definitely going to when i move that way. anyone know of any good sport climbing in CO?

i just bought a pair of shoes and a chalk bag today, i've done a bit at like camps, the only thing is the closest gym is 1hr away

 

I have shoes and a harness, no other equipment. I have only done a couple of top rope climbs, so I am extremely novice. I live in Redlands and would be interested in going on climb.

 

hey thats close to me! i live in moreno valley and work in loma linda. I climb all the time in riverside at a gym called Threshhold. Check out their site climbthreshhold.com I'm there atleast 3 days a week

 

im jealous of all you guys that get to climb in CA. ive heard alot about it

 

im a climber. just got back into it. used to do it when i was about 12 or so... i was a monkey climbing up the walls at the indoor climbing place. did it the first time this year and realized how out of shape i was. haha.. gotta be one of the best sports to do.

 

hopefully i'm going on sat, trying to go for 3weeks

 

I'm a little late, but there are tons of places to climb in CO. I am from the Springs and loved climbing at the Garden of the Gods. Shelf road is another epic climbing spot. Eleven mile canyon, phantom canyon, the Flatirons in Boulder. There are so many places, I can't even remember them all. Those were my favorites though.

 

thats one of the big reasons for moving to colorado. i spent the summer in the Springs one year and loved it. the weather out there is perfect for climbing. only problem is finding a job? ugh!

 

I rock climb....
