Local Climbing
This is a partial list of local crags and their current access status. E-Mail us with your questions or to submit additional information about a specific area on this list.
In the future ACSD hopes to work on establishing climbing access to several climbing areas located on private property. Due to the sensitive nature of these areas, we have excluded these crags from the list. One exception - the Santee Boulders - has been made due to its long climbing history and quasi public nature. Please heed any posted "No Trespassing" signs and respect land owners and their property.
We realize San Diego Climbers don't always climb in San Diego, so here's a page full of weather forecasts for other crags.
