New Years Eves
For us, it’s not all about the climbs and the grades. It’s about the feeling, the ambiance and the environment. Having walked into our chosen cliff (Hot Rock), this morning, we found so many people at the base of the climbs that we turned around and walked away. Plan B (Twin Caves), also had its… Read more

Leonidio Life
There’s such a chilled vibe around here, that there’s never the feeling that we should rush out to climb.
