Land Of The Lost Rock Climbing

Land Of The Lost is a cluster of quality quartzite crags hidden off the gullies and ridges of Horse Mountain. This is the closest sport climbing to the Arcata/Eureka area and consists primarily of shorter (40'-80' tall), well-bolted routes, with a handful of excellent trad lines interspersed. Check out the Pinch Me Wall for a plethora of moderates, or the Tropics/Three Amigos for the 5.11/5.12 crowd.

The season is typically spring to fall, as the area receives snow in the winter. There is a gate off of Titlow Hill Road that often stays closed until early summer, to protect trees in the area from the spread of Port Orford Cedar root rot disease. You can still climb at LOTL when the gate is closed, but it makes the access ~30 minutes longer, as you have to hike the road (instead of driving it).

There is an excellent camp site at the main parking area (Pinch Me Wall, Snag Crag, Tropics Wall, etc.). The entire area is primarily mature forest with expansive views of the Trinity Alps, and is absolutely beautiful.
