The Beehive Wall and it's distinctive stone wall, ...

Description 

Located just below the Peace Bridge and the road, this wall/boulder offers 7 or 8 entertaining problems on coarse but solid rock and of approximately 15 feet in height--a nice height when bouldering alone. The landings for the problems are mostly excellent, although a stone and mortar bench sits a few inches off the ground at the base of several problems (it's fairly easy to avoid if you know you're going to fall). This is probably one of the best places to visit at Rubidoux if you're an intermediate climber looking to get in a quick bouldering session after work. The problems range between V-easy and V5 in difficulty. Because of the compact spread of the problems on this wall, many variations are possible--including a high traverse of the entire wall.

In the past, a lively beehive existed at the right end of the wall and could add extra excitement to a bouldering session. It seems to have been destroyed at some point during the past two years. EDIT: Nope, it's still there as of March 2009, but it doesn't seem quite as active.

Getting There 

From Peace Bridge, follow stairs below the road to this obvious wall.

Short but worth doing, this is the far right problem on the wall. Follow the obvious chalked undercling into a lieback. Starting low and far right makes this feel harder than 5.9 (its rating in the Fry guidebook). A beehive used to sit near the base of this problem, and more than a few people have taken stings in order to climb it....[more]   Browse More Classics in CA
