Hiking in Malibu

Posted on 03.24.10 in Los Angeles by leinehed

It’s actually been 2 weeks since this happened, but it’s worth posting. Me and Sean met up with Sergio, who we first met at the Movits! concert, for the march Art Walk. He brought 2 friends with him, Max and Sarah. Then Sergio had to bail (which later has been established as “pulling a Sergio”), so me and Sean just hung out with Max and Sarah for the rest of the evening. We pretty much instantly hit it off as we were cruising around the bars. We made tons of plans, as usual when drunk, but this time it actually felt like we were going to do most of them.

And only 2 days later the first plan was put to action, hiking in the mountains above Malibu.

We went up a hill, down a valley, and up a trail, following a stream of water which eventually brought us to a pool of water where a waterfall was flowing down form the mountain above.

It seemed like most people didn’t go higher than that, but we decided to climb the mountain to get to the waterfalls source. After some climbing we managed to get to an even bigger waterfall. And behind the waterfall was a cave!

The waterfall from behind. The awesomeness doesn’t really show in the clip, but it was just amazing.

The rock was covered in some cozy green stuff, but it wasnt slippery as I first imagined, so climbing was easy. Staying dry was impossible though, I was soaked when we were done climbing the waterfall.

Rock above Malibu

This is as high as we could get. We couldn’t get on top of the waterfall, but we got on top of the cliff next to it. If you look closely, you¨ll see that the rock we are sitting on is just shooting out straight into mid air, and below is a really deep canyon. Far behind us you can see some houses on a hill, which gives you a hint on how high up we are, and behind that is only ocean and sky.
