A blog about hiking.

I just love it. So, I created this blog to record and share the numerous adventures I've had the joy of undertaking, most often alongside my two favorite climbing partners, Sherpa Jonnie and Lhotse the Adventure Dog.

Painted Cave, Santa Barbara

Class: V0 – V6

What it is: Some fun sandstone boulders east of Santa Barbara by Painted Cave State Park. Both boulders sit on either side of the road to the park: Hallaway Boulder and Trojan Boulder. Try your hand at the Hallaway Traverse (VO) and warm up for the Wedgie Roof (V6). Cross the road and spook yourself out on Heavy Traffic (V3). Just be sure to make yourself seen as cars speed down this road faster than you’d expect. Nice quick stop on your way up or down the coast, or before/after a play day at the Brickyard.

Please DO: Visit the actual park and look into the cave, its rad.

Please DON’T: Do this in the dead of summer – the flies here are very people-friendly.

What you need to bring: Bouldering gear, and lots of water.

What you want to bring: Bug spray.

How to get there: From Highway 154 take Painted Cave Road until you see two large boulders on either side of the road. Pull over here.
