    These guys are top notch. You'll be surprised with what you can accomplish with their coaching and instruction. I'm a beginner rock climber (no outdoor experience) and was quite intimidated by the tall rocks overlooking the ocean by Point Dume. I thought I had no chance of climbing past 10-15 ft. But I found myself climbing 100 ft rocks of varying difficulty and making it to the top every time! I booked the Point Dume trip for four hours as a surprise for my husband's birthday. Rogerio is a pro and will make you feel safe and comfortable. He did a great job of always finding the perfect level of difficulty for us. We always felt that we were pushing ourselves but never unsafe or beyond our capabilities. I highly recommend the Point Dume climb. It's pricey... but the views are priceless. And I think the drone footage is well worth the extra investment. Thanks for an amazing day of climbing! You made my husband's birthday and we will be back for more.

    Great climb!  Thanks Roger.

    Great Day! Roger is awesome and customized the day to exactly what we wanted. Excellent instruction and amazing location!

    I climbed at Point Dume with Roger and he was great to hang out with and gave me some good climbing advice.

    It was my family's last week here in the US, and we've been climbing here for the last two summers…read morewith little issue. The staff *before* was quite friendly. I've been/was climbing for 7 years and have a good amount of belaying experience. Further, the routes are not very inclusive in terms of height at higher V levels, and do not contain as much variety. The lead/top rope walls are extremely short and barely qualify, around 15m tall. You would be better off going to Sender One in Westwood, that has a BIG variety of problems from competition to fun dynamic routes, finger strength heavy, slabs, and more (excuse my horrible description). The test was unnecessarily difficult in the sense that they need you to "describe" the knot as some "parallel lines" rather than acknowledging being able to tie it properly, due to some language barriers which prevented me from describing it properly. They only accept the "PBUS" belaying during the test, and disregards what they call the "Yosemite belaying method," which they allegedly only use outdoors?? They do not specify beforehand what sort of belaying method they wanted, and provided little information as to why when asked "we just do it that way". It is also odd because a more experienced employee has and had accepted the other format. Inconsistent. I have also been able to get the belaying license the first time round (2 years ago) using the "Yosemite belaying method." This method is the most widespread in Asia, with all belayers (coaches, climbers/friends) alike uses it. They do have a kilter board?, which can be interesting as you have access to an unlimited amount of routes which I don't see often in other gyms. There's some sort of small gym upstairs with weights, cardio equipment, and space for recovery which is convenient and comfortable to use. Bathrooms are always clean and spacious which is nice.

    I visited Rockreation on a weekday night for an event, and I learned that parking could potentially…read morebe difficult (likely street?). There are some spots reserved for Rockreation, but it wasn't clear whether it was staff or anyone could use it. Upon walking in, the staff welcomed me and directed me to waivers - the usual. Afterwards, there wasn't much of an introduction, though I wish there was. I started bouldering on one of the walls until I felt uncomfortable... it was in fact a little higher than normal. Turns out, that one is for ropes! On the topic of ropes, there are many options to climb with ropes. I navigated to bouldering, since that was my preference. The grades are a little different with some translation into V#. Pros of this? You feel less discouraged by climbs that may be hard while respecting ones that may look easy. Cons? The tags were super hard to find! Where they the small circles? The tape? There was a giant boulder in the middle of the bouldering section that was also fairly stacked with holds but not really set. Overall, I have to admit that I was underwhelmed with the bouldering options, and it is definitely one of the smaller bouldering gyms that I've been to. They do have a nice upstairs workout area, though!

    Wow what a BEAUTIFUL hike! There's a bit of everything on this hike…read more PARKING: off YERBA BUENA, look for CIRCLE X RANCH , it comes up quick so be ready! Windy road for those with motion sickness issues be aware. Parking is free, there's a toilet and water fountain to fill bottles as well. There's 2 ways you can go, this hike is a loop. We started off going west down hill past the little lodge with the pay phone. Once you get to picnic tables down the trail you'll see a fence, go past the fence and down continue on the trail. You'll get to boulders and there is the grotto! This trail is pretty toddler friendly however, we did not take our toddler down to the grotto Due to the fact that there is bouldering involved, and at one point, there's a rope that you need to be able to "climb"to get down into the grotto area. The friends we went with were able to go, and they said that it was very cool down there and definitely worth the hike. Some people said that they spotted rattlesnakes we didn't see any however.

    Five stars with a caution‼…read more The writers of the reviews here must be totally fit‍‍ My husband and I were dying on the trail coming back from the grotto area. It was almost all incline, like no joke. Our dog was so tired (She's young and only two.) she quit walking at one point refusing to move! Another disappointment was that we weren't even able to get to the grotto area, which involved some rock climbing, because we had our dog.‍ With that said, however, the view was spectacular, and it was a great hike (going to the grotto, not on our way back!). I loved the streams and watching the tadpoles! (I don't remember the last time I'd seen tadpoles,) It was wonderful to experience such beautiful nature not so far from the middle of the city. To sum it all up; the full hike is highly recommended for people who are fit. But, I'd say to the people who aren't that fit (like us!), just to enjoy the hike up to the first stream and waterfall then turn back. You'd not enjoy the hike coming back from the grotto!

    TLDR: Informative website, small climbing gym (no top rope), easy access 8am - 5pm. After 5pm,…read moreparking may cost money. Friendly staff, active events calendar and best of all, CLEAN! - - - - - - I've been waiting to check out this Sender One location; my first ever visit (with 5-Punch Pass) was the Playa Vista Location, and the Westwood one feels slightly smaller in comparison. Give the recent fires, I am very grateful that they were able to extend my pass for a few weeks. At the time of visit, I wished that I could have gotten a tour of the facilities being a first-time visitor. Finding the restroom took a while as I was not expecting a gender-inclusive restroom. It's not a large location, but the orange walls make it easy to get lost. There's also a small room with a few pieces of gym equipment. What's impressive is how CLEAN the entire facilities is, which in my opinion is difficult for climbing gyms in general. As mentioned, the Westwood location is a rather smaller one. Neither hits nor the Playa Vista location had belay and rope, only bouldering. The grading here was fairly diverse, though it did not feel there were too many routes compared to Hangar 18. A Saturday morning before noon felt rather quiet, but noticeably more people startled trickling in around noon. Like most gyms, there is an events calendar, and I really enjoyed the different group events that are offered. I really wished that there would have been closer parking, though - and free or options with validation. Their website lists many locations, but most of them will come at a premium in the evening.

    First time visitor to the brand new Westwood Sender One!! It has over 100 bouldering routes that…read moreare updated regularly and range from V0 to V12 I believe. Great routes for beginners and advanced climbers. Be sure to come in March to get the 5 visit punch pass for $59!! A great deal!! Otherwise, you can buy a day pass for around $35 or a membership, ranging from $89 for students to $100+ for regular members. Check their website for the most accurate pricing. They have bouldering classes as well as an entire yoga studio for personal use or classes. They also have a small fitness room with weights. Being a brand new space, it's super clean and beautifully organized. Lots of cubbies to store your stuff or you can use their lockers for free if you bring your own lock. Gender neutral restrooms and showers are available. Merch is also for sale. Rental gear comes with your pass but you can also bring your own stuff. The best part? The staff!!! I was greeted by Hannah who gave me a personal tour of the facility and recommended beginner routes to me. She remembered my name and would check in throughout the visit to see how it was going. Super nice!! If you want to save time, fill out their waiver in advance. You will also need to fill out an orientation form if it's your first time. I'm excited to get the most out of my 5 punch pass, which lasts 2 months! Only suggestion is I wish they would offer cheaper day passes for students or EBT card holders similar to how Cliffs of Id charges $10/day for EBT card holders. The membership allows you to visit all Sender One gyms - which is great if you can get there. However for many college students without cars I think there would be a lot of interest in a Westwood Only membership for a lower price. As someone who doesn't have a car, it is unlikely that I'll be able to use the other Sender One gyms which limits me to this facility and makes the $89/month for just bouldering not as worthwhile. Something for management to consider!! I am also not sure what a "visit" entails; for a day pass, can you leave and come back? If so, that would definitely make it more worth the money (i.e. yoga class in the morning and climbing at night).

Definitely not an easy hike -- tons of river crossings, climbing over rocks, and I was already dirty within the first 10 minutes.

The views, the water, the whole experience felt unreal. It's one of those hikes that actually feels like an adventure instead of just a walk. Exhausting but so fun, and I'd 1000000% do it again.

Waterproof hiking shoes, trekking poles, plenty of water, snacks, sunscreen, and an offline map are highly recommended. We arrived around 7:00 AM and were lucky to find parking. The lot closest to the trailhead only holds about 10-15 cars, so I highly recommend arriving early, especially on weekends. If it's full, you'll likely need to park across the street or along the nearby side streets. Download the offline map before you start. I used AllTrails, and it was a lifesaver. It's surprisingly easy to get off the trail despite the diamond trail markers on the rocks and the blue arrows along the route. Without the offline map, we most likely would have added a lot more time trying to find the correct path. There are multiple Punch Bowls along the trail. The largest one, with the famous natural rock slide, is about 4 miles from the trailhead. More than halfway through the hike, you'll encounter a steep incline. Reaching the rock slide also requires climbing over large rocks, so having good upper-body strength, balance, and proper footwear really helps, as it can get tricky getting to the other side. The only downside was seeing graffiti, litter, and even someone using a grill with an open fire along the trail, which is a serious fire hazard. It's heartbreaking to see such a beautiful place not being respected. I hope the National Forest continues to protect this area by enforcing fire restrictions, increasing recycling and trash facilities where appropriate, and encouraging visitors to leave no trace. This is truly a hidden gem that deserves to be preserved for future generations.
