Bouldering Los Angeles
Embrace adventure with LA's bouldering community
Guided rock climbing near Idyllwild
Wed, Oct 28, 4:00 PMIf you're fit, adventurous, and don't have acrophobia, have you tried rock climbing? I've hired an AMGA-certified guide to do a Tahquitz climb (near Idyllwild & Mt San Jacinto) and I'm looking for someone else who wants to chip in on the cost. Your share would be about $300 + half the guide's tip. To be clear, this is a roped climb, like that shown in the photo. And, it's **multipitch trad**, which is a different beast than toprope climbs. Specifically it's 5.4 and the route is called The Trough. You can find videos and posts, see the one from She Dreams of Alpine for instance. The 5.4 rating is fairly easy as things go. While you don't really need experience, it'd certainly help since both likely routes have exposure in parts. As in, if you look down there's nothing below you for a few hundred feet. You probably won't have to clean or belay, but it'd be a good idea to practice a figure 8. It'd be an even better idea to go to a climbing gym, buy a day pass, and tell them what you hope to do. Make sure you're doing roped climbing, not bouldering. The AMGA-certified guide will be the ones placing the protection, not me. I'll probably clean and belay the guide. You'll probably be belayed by the guide. You'll need a helmet, a harness, and probably climbing shoes. They have all of those if you need them. Other than that, you'd just need a light day pack with what you'd bring on a hike. If you don't already know what **multipitch trad** is (yes, I said it again), please watch a video of what that means. Like I said, it's a good bit more involved than toprope. Anyone who signs up has to join the waitlist and to get off it you have to leave a comment (or send me a DM) detailing your climbing experience or, if you have none of that, why you think you won't freak out with exposure. They say the weather on Weds will be OK, but if there's a sudden shift we can go to JTree instead.

Figure 8 Fridays
Sat, Oct 31, 2:00 AMMeet us down in the ropes area by the benches at 7:00 pm and we'll climb ‘til they close! 🔥 **For Lead and Top Rope** 🔥 We'll give each other belays, comradery, and encouragement. Join us! Feel free to trickle in late or leave early if needed, just give me a heads’ up if you’re new so we can keep an eye out for you! You must be able to pass the gym’s top rope belay or lead test (free)/have a Touchstone belay card before belaying on top rope or lead climbing, respectively. **What does Figure 8 mean?** “Figure 8” refers to the double figure 8 knot that is universally beloved and used by climbers because of its simplicity and inability to fail. **First time to Cliffs of Id?** Get more info [here](https://touchstoneclimbing.com/cliffs-of-id/first-timers/) . **Note to anyone who might be nervous about attending this event:** Climbing is a personal journey between you and the wall. Your climbing skills will not be judged. You will not be holding back your belay partner no matter your level of experience. This is a friendly, supportive event that is welcoming to climbers of all skill and experience levels. Whether this is your first time climbing or your 10,000th, you are welcome. We are a safe environment for all! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me (Sheila) via the in-app messenger at any time before, during, or after the event if you'd like to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about attending this event or about climbing in general. **Beginners:** If you've never climbed or belayed, please take the [Intro to Climbing](https://touchstone.rphq.com/cliffs/programs/intro-to-climbing-class?course=Q291cnNlOjQ0Y2UzMmMxMWZkMzJlZDk4NTZmZTBlYWY4ZjE4NGEz) class before attending this Meetup. The cost is $45, or free for Touchstone members. If you take the 6:30pm Intro class same-day as our Friday meetup, your day pass is included. Come learn to climb and belay then join us after to practice your new skills! Message me or comment and let us know so we can expect you. **PRICE:** A day pass is $35 for non-members and free for Touchstone gym members. Contact me to arrange a $5 discount or even a free pass if you’re not a member. Gear bundle rental (shoes, harness, ATC, chalk) is $5. If you buy a membership ($112/mo) it will cover all Touchstone climbing gyms. **LIABILITY** You, and no one else, are 100% responsible for your safety at all times. Your attendance at this meetup signifies that you agree not to hold this Meetup group or its organizers responsible for any injuries to your person or property that may occur. ***CLIMB AT YOUR OWN RISK*** **WAIVER**: If you've never done so, fill out the [Touchstone waiver](https://touchstone.rphq.com/cliffs/agreements/waiver) before arriving here You will not be allowed to climb before signing. **GYM LOCATION** Cliffs of Id 2537 South Fairfax Avenue, Culver City, CA 90232 (424) 543-3820 **PARKING** Limited free parking is available in front of the gym in its own lot but fills up quickly. A bigger lot (also free) is directly across the street on Fairfax, and there is metered and free street parking around the block. Please be aware if tandem parking, you will have to sign a log and be ready to move your car on notice. I recommend entering the gym lot from Fairfax, if there’s no parking go through it and turn right on Hines to look for street parking. Continue on and turn right on Washington. Still no luck? Go through the intersection and turn right onto Genesse to access the big lot, then walk to cross the street to the gym at Adams. Once you get checked in, turn left and go down the stairs. Look for the Meetup Figure 8 Fridays group flag! Hope this helps and I’m looking forward to climbing with you! —Sheila
