    Wow! What an experience. Right from the moment I arrive Alex was a consummate professional but also made me feel like we had been friends for years. We jumped right into the basics of safety and protocol and in just a short time I was already climbing for the first time. With Alexs expertise guiding the way I felt in such safe hands. I had such a blast and felt so accomplished by the end of the day. Definitely looking forward to getting back out there again as soon as possible!

    Wonderful experience!!! Alex provided the right mix of challenge, safety, knowledge, and fun. The experience was run so smoothly and thoughtful touches were provided all along the way. Would definitely do it again and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a unique adventure experience!

    Having a day to climb outdoors and enjoy the scenery is definitely a must do in Ojai and I highly recommend Ojai Rock Climbing. Alex runs the business and he brings so much knowledge about climbing, the local terrain and fauna of the area. I have introduced a first time climber with Alex and have also taken a 1-on-1 TR and route cleaning instructional course with him and I can honestly say that I'm glad I did! Not to mention that Alex also takes the best climbing photos for you to cherish. Book your next outdoor climb with Ojai Rock Climbing you won't be disappointed.

    Up he goes!

    First time rock climbing with my 7 year old son and we had a great experience! I thought it would be some baby rocks with a couple of newbs but we actually climbed some fun and challenging mountains. Felt very safe and in good hands. Will definitely be booking another session, highly recommend!

    When I took out my friend for his first rock climb, he was TERRIFIED! But Alex's calm, professional demeanor soon reassured my friend that he knew what he was doing. Alex took us out to this gorgeous 300 foot wall out behind Ojai, and provided us with all the gear we needed and even packed a delicious lunch. We did 4 climbs totaling about 4 hours, up to 130 feet. 5/5 would definitely recommend.

    Alex was super great! He provide everything (boots, harness, helmets)! I brought a 7 year old to the climbing school where he got his first experience on climbing real rock walls. Alex was very patient, helpful and also provided good coaching to help keep him climbing when he felt a bit scared (Alex also knows when a kid really does need to come down.) By the end of the day this 7 year was climbing confidently and kept wanting to keep climbing. A job well done by Alex, we would definitely use him again!

    Great experience with Alex and our family! He handled our two girls (13 and 5 yo) like a pro - and kept everyone active and interested! Very knowledgeable about the area, geology and routes - and set multiple lines to keep everyone challenged. In short - a great experience and a must do for active families visiting Ojai! We will definitely be back!

    We went on a half day rock climbing tour with Alex close to Ojai. It was my very first time rock climbing, and the experience was awesome. Alex was very supportive, positive and inspiring -- a cool dude all around. I had zero safety concerns. We will be back. Highly recommended!

    Alex was AMAZING!!!!! WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE ACCURATELY WHAT AN AMAZING TOUR GUIDE HE WAS!!! He was so fun to hangout with and get to know while he was teaching us rock climbing. We totally loved it! It was a bit intimidating driving up to the cliff but Alex was extremely trustworthy in regards to safety. We did 3 rock climbs total and very thoroughly enjoyed it. We would love to go again and use him as our tour guide and teacher. He did amazing and we climbed a cliff that we would have never been able too without him. What an amazingly rewarding experience! Thank you so much Alex!!!!! Your work is so powerful and eye opening to see what kind of possibilities there are to experience within our lives.

    It was my kids first time climbing inside a climbing gym. Luckily we had a wonderful crew of…read moreparents who made the experience amazing. We were celebrating a birthday with a group of kids. The lady working the gym today was such a buzz kill. I am all about following the rules and being safe especially in a climbing environment. We were told two rules at the beginning. Harness and shoes must be worn in rope areas and the bouldering area is off limits to 5 and under and that was changing soon. Icing on the cake was the pretentious tone she gave my young son and I by stating that he wouldn't enjoy climbing as he is being put in a harness. Way to set him up for success by saying a negative comment before he even gets to try it. Remember boulderdash staff what you say around kids they absorb. Words have a huge impact. You might "teach" children in your classes but not all children are the same. I've never been to a climbing gym that a manager can go climb with friends and family for hours. She wasn't supervising who was coming in and out and what was happening throughout the gym. When said manager did decide to come around she was randomly yelling at our kids or us for not doing things she never told us about in the first place. One star for the power trip employee with a negative attitude. One star for the cleanliness of the facility. It could use a deep cleaning. Sanitizer stations would be good. The lady working chased and almost grabbed my child for accidentally walking in the restroom with her climbing shoes to wash her hands. Again I understand it's the rules and we followed the rules given. That was one moment a child forgot and a parent was standing up to stop the child from going in. The gym had plenty of beginner routes and top ropes. Boulder area could use improvements. The weight station is a joke. A few free weights and kettle bells crammed in a corner. We will stick with climbing outdoors. After all it is Southern California.

We spent 2 hours talking about climbing, learning and practicing tying knots, rigging safety gear and harnesses. Working on our belay and braking techniques, and ultimately putting it all together and rotating through top rope climbing, belaying, and observation of the other class members. At the 2 hour mark we had a firm grip, pun intended, on top rope belay and safety. Unfortunately we weren't able to take our belay test that day. The gym policy is that students need to come back a different day to test their skills and knowledge. If I was local I would have come back and taken my test. But I am confident that I have the practice and knowledge to test at my local rock climbing gym and get certified. And that was the ultimate purpose of my trip. I didn't tour the whole gym because I was focused on the class and learning the ropes, again pun intended, so I can't speak to everything. The front of the gym, the climbing walls, and men's restroom were all clean and tidy. The staff were helpful and friendly. The overall vibe was really positive. There were auto belay climbing areas as well as top rope and bouldering. The next time I am in the area I hope to spend more time at Santa Barbara rock gym to really explore the facilities and climbing walls. Also I had a little trouble finding the parking lot. It's behind the gym and accessed from a side street. The parking lot is shared with REI and several other businesses.

Parking is a bit small since it's shared with other businesses. Day passes are decently priced. Nothing crazy. Annabelle helped get me set up. She was super patient and sweet. I've climbed at Hangar 18 which is in the OC so I had an idea of what to expect here. Also a tip for future new climbers going to a new gym, try to fill out the waiver online before arriving. Cuts some time out. Pretty clean gym and not too busy for a Saturday early afternoon.

There are some picnic tables and benches up there as well, and it's (fortunately) not very crowded at the moment. If you can get up there an hour before sundown, you'll have yourself a heck of a time. One tip: there's no gas within like 20 miles of here, so make sure you tank up before you roll up this mountain!

    Seven Falls is located along Mission Creek, the same creek that once provided water to the nearby…read moreSanta Barbara mission. If you visit from Dec to May you will see 7 little distinct waterfalls, all flowing into small pools, directly one after another. The waterfalls have been attracting visitors since the 1800s. The trail to reach the falls is about 3-miles out-and-back. Navigating the different trails can be a little tricky and involves multiple trails and unsigned forks so you may want to use AllTrails app as your guide. The first mile you'll walk along an uphill paved road with some really nice ocean views. After you pass a bridge and then a trail kiosk you'll take a left at the fork. After passing Mission Creek you'll take another left up a steep and rocky incline. Eventually you'll reach the point where you'll need to take a sharp right and head downhill to the canyon floor. You can use the assistance of a rope that's attached to a tree. Climbing up the first waterfall is pretty easy but the next 6 should only be attempted with caution. It's best to visit from Dec to May, preferably after a good rain. It's a popular destination so it's best to visit early on a weekday. Parking is limited.

It's literally off the 5 freeway a couple miles in and you at the town. It was about half hour or 45 minutes drive up the mountain from the freeway till where the mountain start. There's different sections that you could go to if you wanted to hike or camp. We didn't really know where and what trails there was. Just ended up at of the campsite parking lot and went from there. There's loads of trails to choose from. Theres sign at the base that'll tell you the levels of hike and the distance. Also, the path was pretty wide on the one we were at which was nice. Right when you get out of the car, you could already smell the difference in air quality. Mountain air, being in nature with all the beautiful trees and noise of the birds. This place was beautiful. The path was nice to walk, slightly uphill and not hard. We passed loads of people but it still felt very quiet as you're in the woods. There's still loads of wildflowers growing. Temperature wise, it was perfect as your at a higher elevation and there was also nice breeze. Just walking and seeing all the beautiful trees, some covered in moss. The chipmunks running past you along the paths, it's a completely different experience from the hustle and bustle of the city. The views were amazing. When you get to the lookout point where the tower is, there was two tins/cans along the rocks that you could leave a message. Notebook and pen was provided for signing. This particular trail wasn't hard even though it said it was but very manageable. About 2 miles each way. But the views along and at the top of the lookout was spectacular. It's amazing that an hour or so from the city, there's so many hidden gems. Nature is beautiful if you haven't noticed. And another place for hiking on our lists.
