Rock Climbing is Allowed in California, But Areas Closed
As long as it's done with the people you're self-isolating with
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is telling people to head outdoors during the shelter-in-place order as long as they follow social distancing guidelines. “We want you to see sunsets,” he said. “We want you to enjoy activities outdoors. What they don’t want is people congregating outside in large groups.”
The governor said the state has released a new list of activities allowed, as long as they’re done only with members of your household and if you maintain a distance of six feet from others. Rock climbing is on the list, as is tree climbing. Areas like Yosemite, Bishop and Joshua Tree remain closed.
