Type One Climbs

These sandstone cliffs hold a treasured history in California climbing, dating back to the 1930's. Located between Chatsworth and Simi Valley, a popular bouldering spot, also host to hundreds of top rope routes, with a couple lead routes thrown in. Classic Southern California Sandstone, grippy texture, but friable when wet, a fun place to learn climbing movement and learn how to make top rope anchors.

What to Bring

Prepare a small backpack (about 10-15 litres in size)
Remember to bring with you all the supplies you’ll need for the day including medications, low treats, backup meter, lunch, snacks and water (1 litre is the usual but perhaps 2 litres in the summertime)

There’s a short 5 minute hike in from parking on the side of a busy road.
Trail runners are perfect footwear on this terrain

There’s no restrooms at Stoney Point, so be prepared to use “Nature;s Latrine”

Since we will be exposed to the elements:
Sun protection, and wind protection are the main things to consider (layers are the way to go)
In the winter it can get chilly, so a beanie and puffy will be great additions.
The summertime can get toasty out there in the sun.
For summer trips, I’d add a wide brimmed hat, sunscreen, lip balm, sun hoodie.

What's included

If you have your own climbing gear, please feel free to bring it.
