flashclimber Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I was sitting here watching American Idol and got bored, So Im posting an old trip to Cabo San Lucas where I actually climbed in the morning before it hit 100 degrees. Sorry there isnt many climbing pics, but thats what happens when ur soloing by yourself. People started chasing shade right where I wanted to climb! A view of the beach One of the few rock climbing walls in a bathroom. I give it a V1 rating. A pic of my wife on the way out to the beach Those darn tattoos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboy Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Lovely place, thanks for posting! Looks like Joshua Tree rock in a way! Was it sharp, full of big crystals? As for the tattoo, I believe those are referred to as "tramp stamps?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_warfield Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 It's a really fun place to go for tequila, sun, fishing, etc. but if you really want to go rock climbing, you will BE at Josh as Cabo is a tit on a boar hog in comparison. When in Rome, do as the Romans do and in Cabo it ain't rock climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Conway Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It's a really fun place to go for tequila, sun, fishing, etc. but if you really want to go rock climbing, you will BE at Josh as Cabo is a tit on a boar hog in comparison. Amazingly there's some pretty good rock in the 2,000 miles between Cabo San Shithole and Joshua Tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lodestone Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 That shaded wall looks awesome. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_warfield Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) As Hugh indicated, there is some good rock on the Baja Peninsula but the walls around the Arch at Cabo look great from afar but upon close inspection are loose and scaly as Gspotter alluded to. Leave the gear at home and have fun with booze, dancing, sun, sand, paragliding, the quest for marlin, trying to avoid beggars and time share salespersons (same gene pool but different incomes), and best of all the in-the-pool happy hours and the all you can drink booze cruises! J-Tree or other venues are waiting for you on return or once the hangover subsides. And flashclimber, kudos for your avatar, you can become the new Couloir of cc.com.

flashclimber Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 If you go, bring a pair of shoes and a chalk bag. You wont be sorry if you do. I've found tons of boulders around Cabo and on the beach. When Im there, I prefer the water sports and the sight seeing. But thats gets old after about 7 days so I go searching for something to climb. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashclimber Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Oh. I forgot to mention. On the third picture you can see cliffs over the water. Loads of fun climbing up and jumping off into the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Con Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 It is a fun place to climb around and do some bouldering and scrambling especially after a few Margaritas (my sober 12 year old loved it) but it not really much of a climbing destination.
