Northern California

Rock climbers in Northern California will be hard pressed to find a better climbing area than Lassen National Park near Redding. This park features a 10,000-foot volcanic dome, hot springs and a variety of crags that are excellent for climbing. The largest crag in the park is known as Bellybutton, and it has cracks for good footing up to 165 feet. Eagle Peak is a great cold weather climbing area because it is often sun drenched, which makes climbing in cooler weather quite comfortable.

Joshua Tree National Park is a wonderland of rocks and high desert scenery. This is one of the most famous rock climbing areas in the United States with over 4500 climbing routes to choose from.  Our time will be focused on learning and practicing the sport of rock climbing while enjoying the pleasures of desert camping.  This Joshua Tree Rock Climbing trip is specifically geared towards the first time outdoor climber.  We will start off with the basics and by the end of the weekend you will be amazed at what you have learned and accomplished.

Joshua Tree National Park is a classic winter retreat for climbers of all levels. The colors, the plant-life, the animals and the rock in the high Mohave Desert culminate to create an absolutely breathtaking experience. The timeless desert beauty of Joshua Tree is unparalleled. This 4000 foot-high desert plateau is a rock climber’s playground. The combination of the Southern Californian weather, pleasant camping and the countless boulders, cliff-faces and rock outcroppings come together to create one of the most sought-after climbing destinations in America.

Climbers are deeply engaged by the somewhat unique rock that the area offers. The crystalline quartz monzonite that makes up most of the features in the area provides some of the highest quality of rock for climbing, with sharp edges, abundant cracks, and a very high friction factor. Whether your interest is low-to-the-ground bouldering or multi-pitch lead climbing, the abundance of rock throughout the park is overwhelming, and not surprisingly, many lines remain unclimbed.

Yet for all the attraction of its rock, the big draw of Joshua Tree is the pleasant climate. From October through May, Joshua Tree is a rock climber’s paradise, with convenient and pleasant car camping located right next to many of the climbing areas. Located less than a three hour drive from Los Angeles and less than an hour from Palm Springs, a few days of instruction and climbing in Joshua Tree is a great mid-winter break from the snow and frigid winds found in most of the rest of the country.

The health and wellness choices you make today will impact your future. Your body is meant to move, and if you don’t exercise your muscles will become weak. Your heart and lungs won’t function efficiently. Your joints will become stiff, making it easier for you to get injured.

Exercise helps you stay fit by decreasing your risk of developing heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and more. It helps improve stamina, muscle strength, enhances flexibility, helps control weight, and improves your overall quality of life.

Thanks again to the great guys from Southern California Edison, for giving us the honor to be part of another great event.

We are going to work out at Sender One today 8/20/2014! After 6pm. So come meet some of our rock climbing instructors and start becoming a part of the climbing community.

Tie-in and belay test required to get on ropes.

Bring your own rope if you are planning on leading, also requires passing a test if your first visit.

If you’ve never been to Sender One, here’s a few tips to get you started:

• Fill out their **Online Waiver ** before arrival for faster check in at the front desk.
• Get belay certified if you’ve climbed on ropes before. – Takes roughly 10 minutes by a Sender One instructor: Tie-in, safety checks, belay techniques, and communication call outs.
• Admission is $20 for an all day adult pass. $6 gear package rental (Shoes, Harness, & Chalk Bag) available if you don’t have your own stuff.

Next week, 8/27/2014 we are working out at Top Out Climbing Gym. Also after 6pm. Another great opportunity to meet our rock climbing instructors, mingle and meet new people.

They offer two types of climbing:

Auto-Belay 

An auto belay is an automated braking system that eliminates the need for human belayers (CLIP AND GO!). Our auto belay area is a less intimidating area that is perfect for kids and the beginning climber while still appealing to experienced climbers. Participants can climb without a partner and enjoy the thrill of climbing up to the ceiling on their very first visit.

Bouldering 

Our bouldering area is the heart and soul of the gym and is a sight to behold. Featuring a 100 foot long steep wall, a 20 foot high top out wall, and a 15 foot high freestanding boulder, our bouldering terrain has something to offer for anyone. All of our bouldering zones feature thick custom fit foam landing areas for superior safety and protection.

At Top Out, they are passionate about rock climbing. Their climbing routes and boulder problems are set by some of the best route setters in the world and offers some of the most diverse and exciting indoor rock climbing terrain in the nation. Their walls will challenge beginners and advanced climbers mentally and physically, and will leave you going home with a wonderful workout and a smile on your face.

Now a days there are many indoor possibilities for rock climbers. So not only you have the option to train, but you also have the comfort of having lighting at night, minimal or no approach and more. Regardless of these options, some still can’t find the time to train, stay in shape and enjoy the rock climbing sport overall. So what else can you do?

There is a saying, “where there is a will, there is away . . .”. That is something that we will apply to the alternative options available.

Find time to rock climb. We all know jobs are mentally and physically demanding. Being in good shape and finding a good balance between work and play are very important for our overall health. There is also the age factor, “you aren’t getting any younger . . .”, so when you keep postponing those things you love and make you happy for later on in life, you may not be able to enjoy them the same way.

There is another term we love to use, “YOLO – you only live once . . . “. We are not, by any means, saying you should be irresponsible. We are simply stating the fact that you only live once, and there are opportunities you will have that will never come around again.

If you work too many hours, find a gym close to your job. If you have kids, bring them with you or ask a friend to watch them for you (climbing is a family oriented activity). If you don’t have a climbing partner, go the extra mile to make new friends within the climbing community or join local climbing network groups (for example check out SoCal Mountaineers). Take a rock climbing class with us, we strives at making sure no climber is left behind. Bottom line is, you have options. The tricky part is, finding the one that works for your schedule.

Making the time to do healthy activities you love is important and good for your health. Your body and mind will Thank You.

Climb on and stay safe!

We love sharing the joy our outdoor adventures bring everyone, but we want to take it to the next level and share some other great outdoor activities you both may enjoy. Starting with our very own, of course! And moving on to other favorites….

Here are a few ideas:

1. Beginners Intro Rock Climbing Class –  includes 4 hours of hands-on training in all basics and fundamental skills needed for rock climbing outdoors.  Whether you are new to rock climbing or want to graduate from an indoor gym to rock climbing outdoors. All equipment is provided and you get the opportunity to practice with professional rock climbing instructors. No previous experience is required.
2. Half-Day Rock Climbing Adventures – 4 hours of clip-and-go fun climbing as much as you can! Adrenaline rush is often part of the experience. No previous experience is required. You and your loved one can cheer each other to success!
3. All-Day Rock Climbing Experience – this works just the same as a half day adventure, but it includes a picnic lunch and full 7-hour day of climbing. This is for the rugged and those with more endurance than average individuals. Usually, a half day adventure would be enough to tire you out, but if you’re already athletic and don’t tire easily a full-day will be perfect.
4. Batting Cages – lets face it . . . men and women love hitting things, so what better way to let it all out than to enjoy a day out at the batting cages. Make it even more exciting and find one that is not too busy, has picnic tables, has some shade, and take breaks to have some snacks/lunch.
5. Archery Class – cupid does it better, but you can still give it a shot! Haha
6. Horseback riding – is not as difficult as it used to be. Now a days, there is lots of places with more availability than ever. Horses need people’s attention too. Most are trained to follow a trail, so you don’t even need to know how to ride them. Most places also have a great little restaurant next door you can visit after your horseback ride.
7. Golf – you can play grown up golf or miniature golf, but you both need to prepare to stand up and walk all day (bring comfortable shoes!).
8. Ice skating – there is nothing more romantic then falling on the arms of your lover, or not. Just make sure is an outdoor skating rink! They usually play great music and have awesome outdoor lighting.

There are many great activities in Los Angeles available for everyone. No matter what you pick, great outdoor activities for couples bring the perfect sceneries to take photos and capture great moments, so make sure to pack your camera and don’t forget all the little add-ons that can compliment your day (snacks, picnic, etc… and a big smile).
