That's what I was thinking. With all the extra time biking, I'm sure you could get to sweeter rock climbs than Williamson.
Hold on there just one second.
Have you
ever climbed at "Willie"
I have not but I do know that biking 25mi uphill would probably be 2.5h. If I use that time to drive somewhere, willie would have to be better than anything in Joshua Tree, Tahquitz, Big Bear etc. Heck, if I add the time it takes to drive the Red Box, I can even make it to Lone Pine! So, even if Willie is awesome, it has some serious competition.
Willie, IMHO, sports some of the best climbing on the west coast. It is very unique with steep, hard, technical rockclimbing in the 11 to 13 range and brilliant moderates in the 7 to 10 range. Besides the bike ride would be worth it just for the good frog gaffin, them yellow legged ones are pretty tasty.
If the road went to the last of the camps or the Ski area, that would be pretty cool. You could access some very nice countryside on foot or on a Mt. Bike. This could be some sort of a giant "Park" in LA county.
