See all- Climbing and Exploring the PlaygroundThe Playgrounds, Santa Barbara, CA
This Sunday should be high 60°s cloudy in the morning-
(If the forecast changes for the worse, we may postpone)Sounds good to me 👍. So...
🧗 Rock climbing and exploring at the Playground…
We will hike out to Little Lebowski Urban Achievers Crag in the Playground which has sport routes from 5-8 to 5-11+, there should be something for all skill levels.
***OPTION***
After we are seshed out, we can stash the climbing gear and explore some of the lesser known areas of the Playground including the Bird’s Nest and we can try to find the slot canyon. I have been through it a few times but it is literally a maze out there 🫤. TBD...Almost too much fun for one day but we can cope.
This is for climbers only – this is not a dedicated hike
Bring your shoes and harness and belay device of course.
Helmet highly recommended tooWe will be top roping and there is some lead if anyone is adventurous.
I will have a rope and plenty of anchor building materials, feel free to bring your own then we can have a couple of routes going.https://www.mountainproject.com/map/105800190/the-playground
***SAFETY FIRST***
• We will be strict on safety, no unnecessary risks
• There will be lots of double-checking.
• Everyone has veto power, if they don’t like anything we will stop and discuss.
• Everyone is responsible for their own safety, climbing is inherently dangerous 💀
