Dameat told me Kevin Thaw did a dyno to the horizontal. So just another RA at Stoney. Good climbing.
And Guy, that's Brandon in those pics.

Ok, sorry for the wrong name.
You know me, all the young studs, who pull all the hard boulder problems LOOK the same to me.... shiny white knights, with Bachar bodies.
Sorry Brandon, I owe you lunch.
But I have something more pressing....
On my way to work, this am, on wet streets, there were about 9 cars pulled up to the side of Stony. I saw packs on peoples backs, no pads, I didn't have time to stop and check out what was going on.
I suspect a "meet up" group or maybe one of the GUIDE services who use the place, although I didn't see the marked SUV/VAN/Vehicle they usually use.
I am not familiar with the "meet up" listings. If any of you folks are, please let me know the links, and I will let em know when the point is closed.

Rincon... Zero Neon Lycra spotted, so I don't think it was them. THX
maybe there to wash off old chalk, or look for birds or just to walk around, I hope.
Frummy, you need to move back down here Stony need a guardian.
You to Rincon....

So, I am wondering something.
If I roll up to Stoney on a rainy day. Some self appointed person is going to tell me I can't be there. Really!!
Hot Tuna is still dry as well as a few others.

Got there as the sun was setting tonight. Thanks to the washing and the wind the rock was like Velcro. Only saw one other climber. Cody from San Luis Obispo, down visiting family for Christmas. It was his first time at Stoney.
To answer OWWOR's question:
If I see someone there right after a rain, I start up a conversation and mention the friability of the rock. If they seems like they know what's up, cool. If ignorant, I inform. With emphasis on how lame it would be to bust holds off a classic.

From the ACCESS FUND website:
Stoney Point Crag Clean Up
Saturday, Mar 14, 2015
Stoney Point is one of the oldest and most easily accessible sport climbing areas in the region, and provides many opportunities for bouldering, sport top rope, and some traditional free climbing. It is very frequently used by many climbers in the area. However, if you have been there lately, there is an abundance of garbage and it is in a significant state of disrepair. A little TLC would go a long way to making the place more enjoyable again.
Meet at the dirt road next to the horse stables, pick up garbage bags and break out into groups. Clean for a couple hours, enjoy some pizza, and then climb the day away!

You love the Point..........be there!!!

....Stoney Point is one of the oldest and most easily accessible sport climbing areas in the region....
rr ... with all due respect, Stoney Point IS NOT A SPORTCLIMBING AERA
at all. Access Fund gets it wrong, again. And the place has never been cleaner, ever, thanks to a whole bunch of local climbers/boulderers who take pretty good care of the place.
The event is most welcomed, because picking up trash is always a good thing to do.
cheers

OK to be there, get your feet muddy, pick up trash, scrub off chalk, but if you start climbing pot-hole, TRing on Beethoven or Pink Drips....then
Hopefully, someone will talk to you about the wetness and the destruction you will cause.
Sort of like what we did with the boys who showed up one day with brand new pads, shoes and a Hammer and Chisel, we set then straight.

If you roll up to Stoney on a rainy day, you'll probably have the place to yourself. And you can still "climb" Hot Tuna, Sculptors Traverse, or a few other overhanging climbs. I've climbed at Stoney in full on downpours before, and got totally pumped and had a blast! Just stay off anything that's wet. For many climbers it's too hard to follow that simple rule though, so in general, most self appointed people will recommend that people just stay away until it drys out.

I climbed there from 1981 until 2008 when I moved to Ventura.
I know the game. I don't what bothered me so much about the statement.

The Point isn't CLOSED! Maybe it's the self appointed ruler of the land mind thought that bothers me so much. Who do you think you are Kim Jong-un.
Stoney point is a Los Angeles City Park, there for all to enjoy. When one group of users thinks they own the place and take matters in their own hand is when it could cause a problem with the city. Maybe a less confrontational way to get your point across would be better. Maybe post a sign at each entrance explaining why it isn't a good idea to use the rock while it is wet. I would not be surprised if the city park department would help with this.
I would encourage everybody to visit Stoney Point on a rainy day. It is pretty cool place when it's raining. Just don't climb or rap on wet rock.
During one rainy day a friend of mine and I aid climbed inside of the train tunnel. I also built walls under the 118 at Tampa. Yes that was me.

I am trying to continue the work of Bob Kamps. Bob kept track of the place, he had the phone number to city Parks and Rec, filming division.... I have that phone number now. Film crews must follow the guidelines, no painting on the stone, pick up all litter, no changing of the stones....
The biggest threat now are large groups, like RockClimbEveryday....and other guide services who might not respect, or even know about soft sandstone, and what might happen if they pull on it when its wet.
So I'm sorry if you got a bone stuck in your craw about a "self appointed ruler"... but im not the only one who cares enuf to stop and ask film crews for the permit or to go jump on clueless guides who are only out to make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
My name is Guy Keesee, I reckon you have no name, cause you only post under some Avatar, and have added no climbing content to the Taco.
Peace to you, Happy Climbing.
