poison oak

Poison Oak... Watch Out!!

  
 
Santa Barbara & Ojai

In Santa Barbara, the Brickyard and Lizard's Mouth offer sandstone bouldering... but watch out for poison oak and nasty little black flies in the summer. There are also places to sport and trad climb, but I haven't been to any of them yet.

Up highway 33 out of Ojai you will find Sespe wall, Wheeler Gorge, and if you keep on driving up along a windy dirt road you will come to Pine Moutain. Sespe offers 2 pitch trad climbs, while Wheeler offers single pitch sport climbing on weird cobblestone rock. Pine Mountain is fun for camping and bouldering.

 

Click here to see a video of Cole climbing at Wheeler Gorge.
