Rock climbing in Southern California attracts climbers from all over the world. They love the incredible scenery and the variety offered by California's diverse environments and abundance of climbing routes. The more than 200 routes on Tahquitz Rock and over 300 on Suicide Rock in Idyllwild provide routes at all levels of difficulty suitable for novices and expert climbers alike. The San Gabriel Mountains, located in close proximity to Los Angeles, are a magnet for hiking, mountaineering and canyoneering enthusiasts.
Only a couple of hour's drive from Los Angeles, Joshua Tree National Park is one of the most popular venues for rock climbing in Southern California. It offers over 5,000 different rock climbs situated in the unique beauty of the Mojave Desert. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced climber, you will find a stimulating climb to match your climbing skills. No wonder these climbs are rated amongst the top ten in the entire world!
