Go Climb A Rock

Are you seeking an activity that will test your endurance? Rock climbing is it. Fitness enthusiasts love rock climbing for its physical and mental challenges and because few other activities can give you the sense of fulfillment and pride that rock climbing does.

In San Diego, there are several outdoor recreational areas but two of the best areas for outdoor rock climbing are Mt. Woodson and the cliffs at Mission Gorge, part of the Mission Trails Regional Park. Mt. Woodson is located off Highway 67 between Poway and Ramona and is one of San Diego’s premiere climbing areas. Scattered boulders provide climbers many opportunities to practice their crack and smear techniques. Mission Gorge is within minutes of Downtown San Diego and part of one of the largest urban parks in the U.S. Many of the climbing routes are roughly 40 to 80 feet high, but the diversity of the climbing areas give climbers of all skill levels a chance to challenge their muscles and test the variety of climbing techniques.
