Today I introduced Cindy to Stoney Point.
It was ironic because she knows a lot about indoor climbing but has never done it “in the wild” – which turned out to be an entirely different experience.
Cindy also made her first trip to Vallarta today and went home with a lot of confectionary delights (and Guava flavored yogurt).
I need climbing shoes… but they are so expensive…

On Saturday we woke up dark and early before the sun in order to catch our Uber to LAX before 7am. We were flying southwest and had checked in the day before right at the buzzer, the instant we were allowed to, but still ended up in C group. When we finally lined up we […]
Our train arrived in Paris after sunset and we tried to use the “easy” subway system we experienced in London and Brussels but were quickly stymied by a glitchy machine that wouldn’t keep English selected past the initial screen. Kind of a problem for figuring out what to buy. Belgium even had a guy walking […]
We reached Brussels before sunset, perfect for checking out the Bourse Christmas Market. We’d picked the right lodging in some ways and the worst in others. The hotel was right next to the market and the hub of the city, but it was also somehow very loud at night with clanging and banging and strange […]
oh yeah, I’ve always wanted to go up there. How do you actually get “in” there?
Is the face Cindy is on: 34d16’9″N 118d36’13.3″W ?
no, just a bit west of there (about 300 feet) on the other side of the walking trail.
(we are both on the same rock by the way)
There’s two ways you can go. Off Santa Susana Pass road (across from Stoney point) you can acess the rocks near The Church at Rocky Peak (other side of the mobile home park on Topanga)
Or, you can head up the freeway towards Simi and exit at Rocky Peak Road. There is a place to park and hiking trails that lead up to various Rocks towards the top of the Peak. Happy climbing. 🙂
I have always wanted to try this. One group offers a day training for rock climbing on going.com. I’ve often been tempted to sign up.
There are so many good places by Rocky Peak. Each time I drive by that area I just want to go exploring.
okay okay – I’ll get the shoes. A crush pad might not be a bad idea either since we don’t use any other safety devices.
where is Rocky Peak?
You live in Winnetka and don’t know where Rocky Peak is? LMAO! How long have you lived in the valley?
The rocks at Rocky Peak are those large, very obvious rocks that jut out of the mountains at the 118 and Topanga Canyon. (sorry, you left yourself open for that one– he he) My mom lives right next to them. I was just there yesterday.
