| Nice and gradual ascent. You hardly notice the vertical. Great views. Rested, and had a snack at the nice open area at the edge, then went the extra feet for the summit register. Perfect weather. | |

| OBC was the last route I did on Suicide Rock. Starting in 1976, had big fun on the ultra-classic faces and on Insomnia, etc. Free-soloed Graham Crackers in 1980. Once belayed Tony Yaniro on Paisano Overhang; he made this 12d off-width look like 5.9, and led it with only a couple of borrowed tri-cams... --Steve | |

| Daddy-daughter peak number two on this day via the climber's trail. We enjoyed the quiet trail through the woods and incredible views from the top. | |

| WayneShort | Razors Edge | |
| Razors edge (5.9 R) was my introduction to rock climbing in 1993. Only one pitch, but a very nerve racking, wafer thin flake for a newbie to tackle. Awesome! | |

| Guilotine and Grahm Crackers. Both went well. Guilotine was hard for the grade at the chimney part. Not real experienced with chimneys though. | |

| Sam Page | Hike | |
| I hiked up here sometime in fall 1999. What impressed me most were the enormous pine cones. | |

| Twills | Excellent rock | |
| Climbed here often when I lived in LA in the '80s. Highly recommended. Fantastic slab climbing, but some really good crack climbs too. | |

| highice | some 5.9 climb | |
| few years ago now, but enjoyed climbing here until, on the last route, I fell down some 5.9 chimney and tore my shoulder muscles (no guide at the time so not sure what route this was). tried climbing in J tree after this, but didn't go well. did find that I could ice climb so we salvaged the road trip by staying in lee vining and climbing ! | |

| I went to high school in Idyllwild from the fall of 1983 until May of 1985. I chose rock climbing for my Phys Ed class. When there wasn't snow we were up there climbing. My first climb ever was Surprise 5.8. First lead, Graham Crackers 5.6, which was no problem. I then led Surprise, which was scary because of the runout. My favorite routes were Flower of High Rank (of course!), Serpentine, The Fiend, Ten Karat Gold, and Cheap Day Return. I climbed there frequently until 1988. I've gone back a few times to see how big the tree in the crack of Flower of High Rank is getting! | |

| asmrz | How interesting | |
| I just read Steve Larson's description of his first climb on Suicide with D.Lauria on Root Canal. Bob Lindgren took me and Bill Bragg on the same route in the mid 70s. It was my first time on Suicide as well and his intent was very similar. Have one of us get stuck in it. Bill did and Bob loved every minute of it. This must have been something that the 60s climbers enjoyed. I was not discouraged either, I kind of liked the route.Since that time, I have climbed many routes and visited countless times. Lately, Penelope and I visit about once a week since the approach is less than 10 minutes from our house. | |
