Stoner Cave is a climbing area in Long Ridge Open Space Preserve in California, on land managed by a regional agency. It sits among several other climbing spots, with Old Problem List, Aquarian Valley and Devil's Canyon all about 0.1 mile away. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 67°F and October highs around 71°F, while winter brings the most wet days, about 14 to 15 a month from December through February. Peter's Creek Falls Trail is about 0.3 mile away and Chestnut Trail about 0.4 mile, so a hike can easily pair with a climbing day. Pescadero Creek, about 6.7 miles off, offers canoeing.
