Location: CA : Los Angeles County : Santa Monica Mountains : Echo Cliffs : The Grotto : Garden of Expectations (5.10a)
By: Benjamin Chapman When: 2 days ago | view comment >> | Comments: Garden of Expectations was climbed by Tony Bird on Saturday, Nov. 21 and confirmed the 5.10a rating. He found challenging steep face moves above the 1st bolt lead to more moderate climbing to reach a thought provoking steep, usually sunlit, slab containing a fun crack and an assortment of small pockets and the anchor. Stellar rock.

Location: CA : Los Angeles County : Santa Monica Mountains : Echo Cliffs : Easy Street : Psychedelic Sally (5.6)
By: Benjamin Chapman When: 5 days ago | view comment >> | Comments: Psychedelic Sally saw ascents by three parties on Saturday, Nov.21
Consensus is that the rating is 5.6 As with all routes at Echo Cliffs this route will clean-up with time. The moves are entertaining and the protection excellent.

Location: CA : Los Angeles County : Santa Monica Mountains : Echo Cliffs : The Grotto : Mystic River (5.8)
By: Benjamin Chapman When: Oct 24, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Watched 4 parties climb "Mystic River" today, a total of 13 climbers, and the consensus being that they're grateful that this climb has been put up. All indicated that the climb involves a variety of climbing techniques, excellent protection, stellar rock, and was cool in the shade while the remainder of Echo Cliffs was hot.

Location: CA : Los Angeles County : Santa Monica Mountains : Echo Cliffs : Easy Street : The Serpent (5.10a)
By: Benjamin Chapman When: Oct 20, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: The 2nd pitch of "The Serpent" is excellent. Most of the holds seem to be very solid, positive, although small, holds. At the crux, 5th bolt, the holds to the right of the water streak seem more positive than going straight up over the 5th and 6th bolt. We pulled off several large loose flakes just below the P1 anchor and cleaned and brushed the holds on the 1st pitch. Nice climb.

Location: CA : Los Angeles County : Santa Monica Mountains : Echo Cliffs : Black Face : Blacklisted (5.9)
By: Benjamin Chapman When: Oct 12, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Blacklisted (5.9)
This climb is excellent and well worth the hike. An initial steep, tricky bulge leads to steep slabby climbing and a final headwall section. Unfortunately, the anchors for Blacklisted are badly rusted and deteriorating and often have debris stuck in them due to their position in a water drainage course.
A slight rightward traverse to the Blackballed (5.10b) anchor provides an excellent steep pocket pulling link-up with Blackballed and provides anchors in much better condition. ... more >>

Location: CA : Los Angeles County : Santa Monica Mountains : Echo Cliffs : Black Face : Black Crack (5.8)
By: Benjamin Chapman When: Oct 12, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Black Crack (5.8)
This is a very nice climb and one of the few cracks at Echo Cliffs. It's a long trek to this end of the cliff band, but worth the time and effort. The initial moves of "Black Crack" seem more like 5.9
The opening moves overhang slightly and good footwork is important to enabling one to maintain the insecure jams. Once established in the crack the difficulty eases considerably and the climb is well protected by 7 bolts.

Location: CA : Los Angeles County : Santa Monica Mountains : Echo Cliffs : Easy Street : Charlie Hustle (5.10a)
By: Benjamin Chapman When: Oct 5, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Saw a party of four doing the 1st pitch of "Charlie Hustle" yesterday. Consensus was that it is a nice challenging route, but needs more traffic to clean off the loose holds. Nice moves and well protected. The party didn't realize that there is a 2nd pitch as the climb isn't in the current Anderson guidebook and the hangers/bolts are camouflaged so they blend in with the surrounding rock very well.
