Wanting to get some moderates in at Tahquitz. With some of the recent rock fall that has occurred, are there any areas/routes that should be avoided?

I don't think anything needs to be outright avoided, but if you're going to be climbing left of maiden buttress (NW recess/NE face), I wouldn't climb under another party and watch what you're pulling on. The rock on the W and S faces is solid. Traitor Horn, Open Book, Dave's Deviation, Angel's Fright, Human Fright, El Camino Real, Fingertrip, and Jenson's Jaunt are all very popular climbs.

If you aren't sure you are on a route you should avoid, it's local ethic to yell to neighboring parties asking them if the route is safe.

Tahquitz is always shedding something. The closer you get to anything 5.7 and below, the more gumbies will be kicking stuff down on you. El Camino Real is a fairly clean route without a lot of cross traffic. Farewell Horizontal to the Wong/Long is pretty good. I miss that place.

San Diego...Local??? LOL. San Diego is 4 hours away. Try Riverside, Hemet, or E. San Gabriel Valley, that's local...braj. Even the Chargers don't care for San Diego....braj.

Lastly, when did you see my pecs? I pretty much have none, so if you can send some my way, I'd be much obliged. Or some man-boob. To the OP - weather is cooling down somewhat, you might be okay over at Suicide if it's not blazing sun this time of year. Rockfall less of an issue there. Stay away from the North Side of Tahquitz if you head that way, to play it "safe." Also, go early, or you will likely have someone overhead which = no bueno regardless of location.

Get there super early and avoid the stuff left of maidens as suggested above and odds are in your favor. I once left home at 4 am, did Fingertrip and was back in Encinitas by noon. So, am local I guess.

OK DUDE great u r splitting hairs... how bout this u r being mean to a guy looking for BETA so may be youshould try to be more of a ambassador to ur local comunity?!? THIINK ABOUT THAT EVER? I think you should avoid any climb that has another climber on it or has had a climber this season, on it or not
