Outer Limits

California > High Desert > Apple Valley Area > Horsemen's Center

Description

South facing hillside with a collection of shorter cliffs with excellent rock quality. Close to the car cragging with approaches of 1 minute or less.

One of the warmest crags at Horseman's, this spot is perfect for cold winter days.

  • Many of the walls and routes here were named after episodes from the 1963 sci-fi series, The Outer Limits. 

Getting There

Located outside the fence line to the Northwest. Turn left just before entering the gate for horsemans center. Within 50 feet veer left and follow this main dirt road as it curves back and forth towards the south facing hillside. Park directly below your cliff of choice.

Alternatively, if you dont want to drive on dirt, you can park inside the gates on the north side of the restrooms. From here you can walk directly to the crags via a break in the fence line where it meets the hillside.

  • The sub areas are listed from west to east as you would encounter them.
