In the area for a few weeks and looking for a good guide for the Pine Mountain bouldering. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Bob banks. Oceans 11. It’s out of print but it’s the absolute best book for pine. If you’re only going for a weekend however, download the area and photos from the MP app and you will have way more climbs available than you can do in a weekend.

There’s also a falcon guide with some problems for the Ventura, Santa Barbara area

Thanks for all the beta and help! Between a few PDFs and the MP app I was able to adequately shred my hands and dignity up on Pine within hours. What a gem of a spot on a weekday!

Hell yeah Pablo. The best sandstone bouldering I’ve ever done

And a killer spot overall with great, no-frills camping (before Covid, at least - not at all sure now. I'd call or inquire here to make sure the road is open).

It has changed. It’s reservation camping now with only 1 site that is first come first serve. But the road is definitely open and the climbing is great.

What is the name of the campground closest to pine mountain bouldering areas?

All campgrounds are near different bouldering areas. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
