Hey Brad, If climbing comes in high on your list for what is important to do in the states, then LA or close to there is your best option. San Fran puts you on the wrong side of the Sierra's for any Bishop stuff, because you can't get through in the winter, passes are closed, and in the summer its to Bloody hot to be there. But if you live in LA you can do Yosemite valley if you want, better yet the Needles, Dome rock, so much stuff on the Kern Platue, Dome Lands, Siquioa. You can run up the east side (Highway 395), sport climbing in Alabama hills, owns river gorge bouldering in the bishop area, Ice climbing in Lee Vinning, climbing in Toualumne Meadows (high contry of Yosemite). Not to mention New Jack (sport) Joshua tree (5000+ routes), Talquitz as trad as it gettes, Red Rocks Fab sand stone, Zion big sand stone walls.

Yeah there is Stonny point It is a s*it hole but if you like bouldering it's cool on week day afternoon sesion plenty of TRs also, and all the other places mentioned ( malibu creek, echo cliffes, santa barbara...)

BTW there is plenty of bouldering in Josh! you just have to find it!
