Pile Ups is a climbing area in Stoney Point Park, a city-managed site in California. The park's city land makes it a straightforward stop for climbers looking for a local crag within a short drive. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 75°F in April to about 82°F in October, while summer highs climb into the low 90s in July and August. Several other climbing areas sit just a tenth of a mile away, including Slant Rock, Turlock and Boulder 1. The Mattingly Trail is about 0.9 miles off for a hike, and the Santa Susana Pass Trail is roughly 1.3 miles away.
