[1] In the future ACSD hopes to work on restoring climbing access to several local crags situated on private property. Due to the sensitive nature of private property rights and the potential for closures due to increased traffic, we have temporarily removed most of these crags from the list. Santee Boulders has been included due to its long climbing history and quasi public nature. ACSD does not condone or support trespassing on private property; please respect land owners’ requests when areas are signed.
