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.

This guide covers routes from beginner to advanced in order to give climbers of every background a chance to sample the best that L.A. has to offer.
