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.

The start of this problem is located between stretch armstrong and red spark. Start with a left hand incut and a right hand pinch. Make some stretched out pulls up and right to finish directly over a looming rock.

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.

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.

Submitted by: mbrady
Grade: v3.5, Stars:

Starts from the left off a slab/ramp. Traverse on good crimps and slopers up and right to the center of the boulder. Make a huge committing move to small but good holds. A few more chill moves will reach the lip. Good stone, amazing movement, and very tall. The landing is deep gravel but there is a large boulder that is possible to hit. Long overlooked, only saw its first ascent a few years ago.

To the right of Wills' Arete. Climbs fairly difficult pockets directly into the huge but hallow hueco. After cautiously passing the hueco climb past a ledge and into even more scary rock. Tall with horrible stone on top what more could you ask for?

Grade: v5, Stars:

Left arete on the buttress just to the right of Mr. Witty. Quality stone on all but the last 6 feet. Starts to the right of the arete. With fun movement bringing you to the arete. Once on the arete make a big move to gain a good left hand sidepull up high. Kind of surprised it does not get a fluttering heart as the line is kinda tall with kinda insecure rock on top.

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 elsinore, blue jay campground off ortega, the tenaja falls gneiss boulder, squaw mountain past santa rosa plateau, rock mountain (top rope), the boulders near lake perris, jurupa flats and anza. all those spots are 10-30 minutes from temecula. beyond that you have all the major spots (woodson, black mountain, santee, tramway, jupiters, jtree, rubidoux mtn).

The private areas have awesome stuff but you need to go with people who have access to them.

tattvamasi is right as far as where the boulder is located. however when youre on the road, it will be not too far from the freeway on the left on a hillside. there are some small walls in the same area as well. without a guide youre gonna have to just wander around looking for it.

Forum Post: Rename/Re-purpose the site to SoCal and Bishop only

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:30:00 -0800

by Heretic (Posted Tue Feb 14, 2012 10:30 am)
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 with highly concentrated data for areas well known to us vs potentially inaccurate data on places we tend not to frequent. I know this may be an old topic but it's worth revisiting, given sites like mountainproject, rockclimbing and 8a.nu have a plethora of information that gets posted by people who aren't even local or frequent visitors to SoCal. Any thoughts?

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:55:00 -0800

by pixelphile (Posted Mon Nov 28, 2011 2:55 pm)
Hey Guys,

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

Click here to view on the official Doritos website, http://www.crashthesuperbowl.com/#/gallery?video=16876

Click here to view on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqyzMSHK6D4&feature=channel_video_title

As you will undoubtably notice, we did have to make some artistic choices over proper technique and etiquette. We were quite aware during filming that serious climbers could point out all the technical mistakes. If we followed proper protocol, there wouldn't be any jokes, which was the main reason behind the spot. We just wanted to provide some laughs, while still embracing the sport.

Hope you all like it.

If you do, please leave a comment and spread it around to your friends, the more the merrier.

Thanks,

Michael "Pixelphile"

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 available in the upper two lots and he refused to answer my question! Feeling a bit annoyed about this experience, I went to complain to his supervisor, and this is what I was told:

1. Though there may be available spots in the mid to later afternoon in the upper two parking lots, they have to maintain flow of traffic such that it is efficient for both the trolley that takes people up to/down from the station as well as for those visitors leaving in their cars. This is why they continue to direct traffic into the lower lots despite being mid to late afternoon.

2. We can ask (NICELY!!!!) to check for higher parking spots. They may let us do this because we're climbing and they already know we're going to be here pretty late. However if they say NO, then we need to leave it at that and take the trolley from the lower spots.

3. Some ass-clown climber almost ran over one of the parking attendants after they didn't let him pass. The climber's response apparently was something like "I'm parking up there no matter what!". How'd they know he was a climber? ... The guy said he was climbing today and wanted to park up higher. This was, beyond a doubt, a stupid thing to do. We originally didn't have problems with the staff at the stations and now some one-off doosher is causing one.

The supervisor was cool but was disappointed with one or two folks that just don't get it. Hopefully we won't hear of anything similar for the rest of the season but understand this; it won't matter what the rangers say or do if the staff at the Tram station don't let us up there to begin with. These guys (especially Doug!) have been WAY cool to us thus far. There is simply no need to cause problems with these folks.

Lastly, if you've heard of the incident described above and know who it is, please let myself or rTm know. This boy needs some talkin' to...

Thresh Hold has put together a great volunteer event with Joshua Tree National Park and you are invited! On April 30th Meet at Intersection Rock at 10am. Bernadette, the climbing ranger, will get us started on our projects. Possible projects include chalk clean-ups, social trail restoration, or watering the new plants at Echo Cove or along Geo Tour Road. Each participant will receive one raffle ticket in the morning. Bring your cup because Bernadette also brews up some good coffee. Plan for about 4 hours of volunteering.

After lunch lets enjoy climbing together in the park.

Everyone is welcome to attend the event! In order for us to plan the best use of volunteers time please sign up for the event at Thresh Hold, or call to register. 951-742-8479

Turn right at Park Blvd (west enterance of JTNP) and continue straight on the road until you see Intersection Rock on your left
