Suicide Rock -- Idyllwild California
Suicide rock is another famous rock for rock climbers. The
rock received its legendary name from a story of an American Native Princess who threw herself off
the rock with her lover rather than being separated as the Tribal Chief had ordered.
Suicide rock has a few different ways to approach. The
approach has a groomed trail and begins across from Fern Valley Road. Walk down the hillside, you
will cross Strawberry Creek then you will turn right on Forest Haven Road (this is a paved
road).
Follow Forest Haven to the end where it becomes dirt. When it becomes dirt
you will see a trail on your left. It is on this trail where it gets a bit steeper. The trail will
bring you to the base of Suicide Rock. The trail brings you to the Buttress of Cracks, the Main
Sunshine Face and Weeping Wall.
