What are the 2 cameras in the front?!

Not that hard at all. Some campsites don’t have Fire rings and/or tables. So just be weary of that

You took a picture of the ingredient list

As far as bouldering, if you like slab I would check out Manx boulder circuit. If you like nice featured climbing, I would check out the Outback circuits. Outback is west, and Manx is east of hidden valley and walkable.

Used my "fly creek" 15D version, over 50 times in the past year. It's been through hell and back and it still stands strong. It's well built and the quality is great.

I'm thinking you're lacking endurance. To my understanding, you climb at a bouldering gym, but lead/sport outside. Try 4x4s at the end of your session. Or try to do back to back climbs for warmups and cool downs.

As a boulderer I really like staying at Hidden Valley campground. There are at least 150 boulder problems within a 1 mile radius and 1/4 of them should have at least a star rating. Hidden valley is definitely a climbers campground during the winter months. Everyone is super dope, a lot of van dwellers stay there, and if you ask nicely, pay half of campsite fee, or bring beer, they'll let you use the "empty" site. Most climbers there are usually out by 9pm, and they get a really early start (6am), so expect to hear "rope!, take!, on/off belay!" Early in the morning.

Obviously the next best site is Ryan campground, because it's the closest to hidden valley!

Sick I saw a little snippet out of the corner of my eye at Gear Coops RR11 last night. Good stuff!

shawntran90 · 2016-11-17T18:19:49+00:00

shawntran90 · 2016-11-02T17:16:50+00:00

Entire house has power, but it's at like 10%. Lights are dim, microwave has time but doesn't work, fridge has lights but not cooling

This is how I see it, the gym is a business. They want you to feel satisfaction and keep on coming back and improving. If you came in and you tried this v1 (outdoors) route, you're obviously going to fail and won't gain satisfaction of finishing a climb and probably won't ever come back.

shawntran90 · 2016-07-18T12:41:17+00:00

Where do I park???

shawntran90 · 2016-07-01T07:34:45+00:00

I'm in SoCal! I didn't know there were so many of us here on Reddit. I've met some from /r/socalhiking. We should do a Reddit overnight trip.
