WOLVERINE PUBLISHING Riverside Quarry: A Climber’s Guide
WOLVERINE PUBLISHING Riverside Quarry: A Climber’s Guide - Riverside Quarry: it’s no wilderness area; in fact, it’s an old quarry. So why is it one of the premier sport-climbing destinations in Southern California? Simple answer: great climbing. You’ll find the usual array of natural granite holds, plus many features that derive from quarrying operations and … other human activities. Steep, pumpy climbs: check. Old junked cars: check. A good time: check.
