Hey Everyone,

Does any one know if there are any places I can pull some plastic in the Burbank/Glendale area of SoCal?

Thanks!

Ben

The Arc is the closet spot.

Thats what I thought =( Damn. I work in Burbank but live in La Canada, so I guess it will work. Is the ARC pretty decent?

Just bouldering, but it's a pretty cool spot. Mostly overhanging things, but they have some vertical and slabby/thin stuff too. And the crack is fun. They have some fun problems and change stuff up often. I usually get a 6 day pass there for $60 so it's only $10 per time, but I only go like 2-3 times a month.

The routes are OK, but the gym has seen better days. Maybe they have done some renovations, but the last time I was there the walls were crumbling in spots. Unfortunately, you don't have many close options; you could go to Horse Flats for outdoor bouldering or Hangar 18 in Upland for indoor climbing but both are a haul.

The walls are all solid there. But yeah, the arc use to be way cooler when Joe was there.

I live in Burbank and there just isn't much around in terms of climbing. I frequent a bouldering wall behind the Brand Park Library, it's directly up the small road behind the library, park in the parking lot and walk up the road about 75 yards to the stone wall on your right. The wall is about 8' high and 75' wide. This little wall can really give you a good workout in a short amount of time.
