I am thinking of checking out Riverside Quarry this Saturday! Does anyone know if any local stores carry the guide book?

ThreshHold climbing gym in Riverside or The Gear Co-op in Costa Mesa are your best bets. The new book is great. Enjoy.

Thanks Nathan! Do you know if any REI's carry it?

I would go to Threshhold since its only like 5-10 mins away from Riverside quarry. I believe 4 exits on the 60 freeway?

I also suggest getting there early 7-730 to beat the crowds on the weekends and the summer heat. It gets pretty unpleasant with the nats around 12 and the heat, but cools down pretty good around 4-5pm. The newest wall there (The Fun Factory) does get afternoon shade, not to sure on exact time though. There are some spots in the Roof area where you can get shade behind huge boulders and have benches to hang around at.

I haven't seen it stocked at REI yet.

If you don't get a copy of the guidebook for whatever reason, don't hesitate to head out there early to beat the heat. Odds are good that you will find someone with the guidebook to share or info to get you on something at your grade.

The one time I was there, everyone was very friendly. Just don't leave anything valuable in your vehicle. May even want to leave the doors/windows open. Plenty of vehicles broken into out there (despite being plainly visible to the neighborhood behind the road), but I don't think many get stolen, so just leave it unlocked and clean, and no worries.

Hey Everyone!

Thanks for the information. I think I will be heading out early to get on crag. Earlier than Threshold opens, but I feel pretty confident from the beta on MP that I can at least get some good routes dialled in without a guide book. I will just make sure to bring gear for more contigencies when I climb!

adventure 16 in tarzana and west la have the quarry guide.

REI in Santa Monica has some copies.

ThreshHold doesn't have the latest edition. But...between MP and asking other climbers to have a look at their guide, you won't have any worries.

I moved to Vegas and have a copy that i no longer need.

Thanks everyone! I found one at hanger 18 in El Segundo. Had a great time climbing there yesterday! The guidebook is extremely well done and the area is so convenient that I am willing to overlook a lack of a wilderness setting.

It's called urban wilderness! haha

btw I met you there on Friday. I was the other guy in the party of three climbing with Chris. Met at slab city by mantel marathon...

Nomad's has them here in Josh...

If anyone is ever in need, I'd be happy to sell them a copy directly.

Hit me up at louieanderson@live.com...

I've seen anywhere from $20-$40. Anyone have used/multiple books lying around? How about a quick download (For a cost of course). I'm just getting into the sport and heard about this place from Thresh hold.

Jetsetter: The original edition was $20, this newer (and much larger) edition is $35.

Sorry, no immediate plans for an electronic version...

Just wanted to say that the new guidebook is one of the most well-done, cleanest guidebooks I've seen. So sick!

I'd love to climb out at the quarry this weekend but my climbing partners a bit of a flake. Again still new to the sport. Is this guide a "must have" for a first timer or are there plenty of people out there willing to help out on the weekends? Like 7am ish?
