frankstoneline Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've heard/searched up some stuff, headed out for a road trip soon, wondering if anyone has some suggestions for climbing near the PCH or on the beach/could suggest books or guides. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilookeddown Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Check out Bay Area Rock by Jim Thornburg. It's about 10 years old but was helpful on my road trip last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telemarker Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 This huge boulder is in Bandon, OR, at Coquille Beach. It has several bolt anchors on top for top roping all around the boulder: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I have a copy an old copy - the previous edition - of Bigfoot Country Climbing, a locally produced staple-back that covers the north California coast. Send me a PM if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankstoneline Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Chris and others, Just got back from the trip. picked up a copy of the bigfoot country guide (for future reference in case someone searches get at me and i'll pass it on). Poked around at moonstone beach a bit and tried a couple times to find crags in the hills inland from the coast though the guide proved pretty useless and i'm fairly certain at least one of the approach descriptions was quite a ways off. Next time I'll have to work a bit harder to find someone with some experience there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I hear you - I spent a lot of time climbing around Arcata while my then-girl friend was doing a clinical rotation on the Hoopa reservation. We didn't have too much trouble finding the goods, but it was always further than we expected. What I was surprised with was the cost for the guidebook. They wanted - and get - a lot of money for what was essentially a staple-back. So if anyone would like a previous edition for less than retail, let me know.

The guide cost me almost as much as the new red rocks guide, which is gorgeous, as i said before, mine is up for grabs if anyone else is looking to head down to nor cal.

kevbone Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Cape Disappointment State Park We camped here about 3 weeks ago. I was stunned to see huge rocks right in the camp ground. Some of the rock was questionable and some of it was bomber. Next time I will be taking my rock shoes. Very kid friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
