In order to make a successful first descent more likely, most boaters explored Sierra rivers in teams. Two teams stood out for the number and difficulty of first runs they made -- the team of Reg Lake, Doug Tompkins, and Royal Robbins, which came to be known as the โBilly Goat Crew;โ and the team of Lars Holbeck, Chuck Stanley and Richard Montgomery, known as โThe Hipsters on the Move.โ

When itโs not raining, Castle Rock State Park offers amazing hiking and rock climbing just under an hour away from Santa Cruz! ๐ฒ๐ฅพ
And when it is raining, you can still get out there and have some adventures! ๐ง๏ธ
We went out last weekend in a break from the rain and sent some climbs at Indian Rock ๐ง๐ฝ
Just remember to bring water, snacks, warm clothes, and plan beforehand as there is no cell service there, adventure on!
