We hit:
DAY 1= Painted Cave, Pt. Mugu (pit stop), Echo Cliffs, Tick Rock.
DAY 2= Purple Stones, Stoney Point, Figueroa Mountain (above Los Olivos).
It was a hot Memorial Weekend, but we made the most of it.
Some notes:
Painted Cave - convenient.
Pt. Mugu - Hmmm... you'll do it sooner or later. It took me 25 years...
Echo - really fun, but best on an overcast day, or when temps are in the 70s. It was in the 90s. The Grotto came in handy. Don't miss Casey at the Bat if you're a 5.10 leader.
Tick Rock - fun, tricky, convenient. Tons of shade. No approach. Holy Crap isn't 5.9.
Stoney Point - My nephew had never been. Had to take him. Even if it was in the 90s. He loved it.
Figueroa Mtn. - off the beaten path and wonderful. Great end to a fun trip.
