Southeastern Alaska, I won’t tell you where specifically, you just have to find it for yourself and that’s exactly why it’s my favorite!

I live in Las Vegas, NV and Red Rock Canyon is my #2 all time favorite place to climb - but my #1 is the Blue Mountains of Australia! I'm in love with vistas, featured sandstone, and long trad multipitch - which BOTH Red Rock Canyon and the Blue Mountains have! But the Blue Mountains have some unique features inviting creative climbing movement, and almost everything is accessed from above. You either rappel in or walk down to the base and your day is done when you reach the top of the climb! Awesome!
This climb is called Sweet Nightmare (17/5.10b) and it was all sweet (even the carrots and the long traverse - haha!) - there was no nightmare about it! - Stefani Dawn |

I don't think I could pick an "all time" favorite, but one of the top would be Maisan (Horse Ears Mtn) in S Korea. Conglomerate sport in a beautiful park above a unique Buddhist temple Tapsa, followed by incredible food and mokkoli in the park village. Sadly, climbing there is no longer allowed.

I personally like sport, TR and trad, and there’s plenty of that around here. I’m not really into bouldering, but HP40 is down the road from my house, so we go there sometimes too. The rock here is mostly sandstone, so it has a tremendous amount of variance. The SCC is probably the reason I love it here though. They’ve done a wonderful job acquiring properties throughout this region to designate for climbing. - Zak Mack

I love Mt Arapiles in Australia. The place is Ethereal. The rock, the community, the landscape make it truely remarkable. Only place in the world I can arrive at and feel mothered by the place itself. - Dave Barnes |
