Climbing Near Santa Maria, California

Cement walled poured I think 2010ish. Not the best quality, it crumbles, its kinda sharp. but hey its on the beach. Cement might also get less jagged over years if more ppl start climbing it. Go into old shell beach and turn down any street between Vista Del Mar and PLacentia heading toward the ocean. The top rope routes are on the south end of the beach by a distinct windmill house. There is a trail down just north of there. The boulder wall is at the northmost end of ocean blvd. there is a stair case leading down to the beach there.

Small cove next to Avila Beach Easy to navigate via Google Maps; head towards Avila Beach and turn off Avila Beach Dr on to Cave Landing road, which ends in a pretty sketch parking lot. Trail down to the beach is well-marked and easy.

Probably the best wall at Silly Rock, Mr. Lee's is also home to more variety than Owl Tor, with routes starting under 5.10 (okay, only one) and going up to 5.14a, with a couple of projects still left. By rumaging around through the oddly cool rock formations you'll find a bunch of routes in the 10-11 range (adventurous in a sport-ish nature), but the main wall lines up like this: L-R:12c (short route l- of arete)project13a - arete13b12c12d13d13b14aproject13c12a Follow road about 2.5 miles and park just short of a 200' cliff with a roof. Walk around the back, passing the Doom Wall (5.7 - 11+) en route, for about 5 minutes to a cobbled very overhanging wall.
