The beautiful granite of Tahquitz and Suicide Rocks in Southern California is well known to climbers the world over. The development of technical climbing in the United States is intertwined with the climbing history of these areas, and many of the sport's greatest innovators have cut their teeth at Tahquitz and Suicide. The superb climbing and beautiful alpine environment attract climbers from Los Angeles and San Diego, while visitors to nearby Joshua Tree would be remiss if they did not spend at least a few days exploring Tahquitz and Suicide, climbing some of the most famous (and infamous!) routes in the country. Completely updated and revised, this new edition provides climbers with all the information they need through the use of topos, photos, and written descriptions.
