knife club was possibly put up by jon cardwell or someone he knows. And Wolf Boy was put up by joe morgan i believe. Went out to ride the lightning today and effed my back up from backing down. That thing is hand jammy!

"Found some beta that makes this thing go static today. Makes it slightly easier if you can establish by properly pulling up and holding the start crimps, then bring your foot up to almost head level. The toss is alot more fun though. "

STILL WAITING for that Black Mountain guide book......................... (image)

"That's awesome brother. Way to rescue an awesome boulder!!! It was so disheartening to see the thing covered in graffiti. Could you please post some pics when you get a chance?"

"here is the stuff we used. http://www.homedepot.com/buy/cleaning/pressure-washers/motsenbocker-s-lift-off/1-gal-4-spray-paint-graffiti-remover-65764.html

like i said, doesnt work great on metallics, but the standard colors came off great.

acetone might be better for metallics if used sparingly. it evaporates quick so isnt as much of a hazard to use outside... just vapor basically.
"

"thats awesome - thanks!!"

"theres an non toxic spraypaint remover that you can buy from lowes or home depot. its in a spray bottle for 8 bucks. sprayed it liberally on the paint, wait a few minutes till it starts to peel up and scraped it off with wire brushes. leaves it slightly stained still, and doesnt work well on metallic colors, but definitely brought the rock back. "

"Oh for real!!!??? NICE brother!!! How'd you manage? Hopefully you can get that whole boulder cleaned off as we lost a few hard problems due to the graffiti~"

"We got all the paint off the ar?te as well as out of the crack, and some of the more critical footholds. Also removed all of the paint from the slab beneath shothole. Will probably go back an clean the rest off in a couple weeks before an evening session. "

head to the Tramway! I frequent the area and will be going up this week. You should definitley check out the area; the granites amazing and theres some really good problems.

"hahaha gotta argee with this. Silly picture."

"I think its funny how dramatic Vic Copeland makes the crux look in guidebook. A little overboard?"

Anyone looking to get out to tram this weekend? Its amazing up there right now!

Tramways is wrecked with snow right now.It was good about 2 weeks ago, but not sure how it will be next week/weekend. If you don't mind a little hiking through snow boulders like the boardwalk boulder and the gold wall will be solid.

Horseflats, Tunnels, Malibu, and Josh during the week and Bishop this weekend. Who's down?

I have been there many times over the years, but I have never seen anything that inspired me enough to get my shoes out. The rock is really bad! Great place to hike and shoot photos tho..

Should I start swimming club or join the gym? For gcse sportsss:) I can either do swimming or do something to do with the gym? I did swimming for a year but because I was doing my black belt in karate, i gave up for a year.

Derrick,know this response is late on a dead forum, but....Theres actually quite a bit of lesser known rock around temecula. Some is great, some is crap. I grew up there, and started climbing by hiking around the hills in the area (no gyms at the time). Some non-poaching spots (aka you wont get chased out of, cuz theres a few of those) you could hit up are the roadsides in rainbow, the Leon rocks and the Newport rocks in Menifee, Simpson park in hemet (and tank rock) steele valley in...

What do you guys think....I'd like for us to re-purpose the website to encompass SoCal and Bishop/Yosemite only i.e. let's get rid of Squamish and the rest of NorCal. We're not a significant source of information about those areas anyway, mainly because I don't think many of us frequent those places on a regular basis. From what I can tell people who contribute to this site are primarily SoCal climbers who tend to frequent Bishop (I would even question Yosemite). This way we provide visitors...

Lame commercial, but can you spot the climbing area?http://youtu.be/CzNEgT50gCs

Hey Guys, I just entered a commercial entitled "Gravity", that I filmed at Stoney Point, for the "Doritos Crash The Superbowl" contest.

We were quite aware during filming that...

Finally the murrieta/temecula area once again has a climbing gym. has a ton of wall space, a topo boulder, campus board and lots of other cool stuff. come check it out at:29990 Technology Drive, Suite 22Murrieta, CA 92563

Hello all! Sorry to post about something far less exciting than climbing itself. I lost a navy blue Panasonic Lumix camera near the Happy Boulders in Bishop California on October 29th. If anyone has found it, even if it is destroyed, I would love to find a way to retrieve it from them! I can be reached by phone: 406.580.2747 or email: emilyjoringer@gmail.com Thanks and hope you're all climbing hard!

It's been a long time since I've posted and I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but I will be hosting a showing of the Reel Rock Tour in Hermosa Beach at the Hermosa Beach Community Theatre on 17 October 2011. Showtime will be at 7 pm.  If you haven't already seen the trailer for this year's film, pop on over to reelrocktour.com and check it out. I'm going to try to work with some local companies to get some raffle prizes to give out during the show as well.  If you know of...

The raffle prizes are starting to trickle in! We have Tram guides and JT bouldering guides from KDA, Bishop bouldering guides and Vegas bouldering guides from Wolverine. WE gots two 3-month memberships from Hanger 18. Schwag from Climb It. Plus, more stuff on the way!

Thanks for the offer. I want to keep consistency by using the same camera throughout, but I could definitely use your help with audio or crane operation. It would be nice to just have another person on set that knows the area. Send me your email or phone number and I can let you know each time we go and hopefully we can meet up. I know this weekend we're going to try and at least do one a.m shoot if not more.

What are some good exercises for gymnastics? I'm taking a gymnastics class and strength is holding me back. What are some things I can do to improve? I need things that I can do at home or in a normal gym since I only have access to the area where we practice gymnastics 2 hours a week._____________________________keyword research ~ keyword tool ~ keyword tracking ~ affiliate elite

Hey Everyone,Just an update...So far the rangers are pleased with most of the cooperation they are getting this summer season. Very cool stuff and I'm glad to hear we're keeping things going in the right direction.However, it is equally important to maintain a good relationship with not just the park rangers, but also the staff who run the PS Aerial Tramway. I ran into some issues with the parking lot coordinator this weekend and was somewhat displeased when I asked if there were parking spots...
