Summary

Best Climbs Los Angeles narrows down the thousands of climbing routes across the 4,500 square miles of Los Angeles County to the absolute best 300 routes. These are the routes that display the hidden beauty and deep rooted climbing history of Los Angeles. From clipping bolts with humpback whales and dolphins on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, to bouldering at 6,100 feet on pristine alpine granite, or following in the footsteps of Yvon Chouinard, John Bachar, John Long, Royal Robbins, and Michael Reardon, some of the most iconic rock climbing heroes of our generation, Los Angeles truly has it all.
