Santa Monica Mountains Bouldering is a bouldering area in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in California, about 1.5 miles from Temporal Boulders and the Malibu Springs Trail. The area sits within the recreation area's boundaries, and its climbing is all bouldering, with four routes ranging from V1+ to V6. The most comfortable months for a visit are late summer into early fall, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 73°F in July and August to about 71°F in November, with almost no wet days from June through September. That station sits well below the boulders, so temperatures up high run cooler. The routes here are all bouldering, and the grade range is V1+ to V6. The Traverse is the hardest at V6, and Adam SANDler and Sandman are both V4.
