Description

Inaja Memorial Park:
Lots of bouldering, with many easy routes good for beginners and kids. The 1/2 mile loop takes you to most of the good climbing opportunities. I'm no expert, but I would say there are a bunch of V0s and V1s with some harder stuff if you wanted, but not a ton for very experienced climbers. Some of the boulders go above 12 feet, so be careful. I was on vacation in Julian with my family and my 9 year son and I wanted to do some climbing. This ended up being a perfect place for a couple of hours of bouldering.

Getting There

On the 79 between Santa Ysabel and Julian (Closer to Santa Ysabel). Easy parking in the picnic ground area.

The landing on this route is a bit weird.  I would say it is a V0, but it is a bit dangerous.

[Hide Comment] Don't waste your time - without some serious bushwhacking there's nothing worth climbing here. Only a few climb-worthy boulders and they all have sketchy landings Jan 18, 2021
