About the book

Most people think of Los Angeles, California as being a giant area of urban sprawl. Surprisingly, just west of the city lie the Santa Monica mountains along the coast, and this oasis holds some great climbing. Sport Climbing in the Santa Monicas sheds light on this urban escape. Loads of sport climbs, some as hard as 5.14, are scattered all throughout the hillsides, providing LA climbers with no excuse not to get after it! This is the 3rd edition, all newly updated and expanded with great photography and easy-to-use maps and directions.

Areas featured

• Echo Cliffs
• Malibu Creek
• Boney Bluff
• Tick Rock
• Topanga Canyon

About the author

Louie Anderson has been climbing since the age of 8. In the years since, he’s done it all from boulders to big walls. However, his main interest is in developing new routes, and he has developed many of the routes in this guide.

Todd Fertig, a Colorado Native, has been climbing since 1991. He moved to LA in 2003 for law school, and now works as a tax attorney. Todd also enjoys route development, and climbs year-round having given up on skiing claiming he is “too old”. When not climbing, he enjoys spending time with his son Bodhi and his partner Kristen.
