Suicide Rock, Idyllwild California
Suicide rock, in Idyllwild California, is a famous rock for rock climbers. The rock received its name from the legend of a Native American Princess who threw herself off the rock with her lover rather than being separated as the Tribal Chief had ordered.
We spent time climbing the area that can be seen between the trees on the far right of the capture. The granite slab, relatively mild weather and the remote location made for a great day.

There is something powerful in love. Jump off a cliff or face a separation. Love does strange things; but then again, life is about love.
Dudes!
Excuse me, but does anyone really know the source of this rock's name? I mean I've heard versions of the little Indian princess story, but nothing truly historical. All Urban Legend sort of stuff.
Any historical info on this tail? I would appreciate it.
Thanks, and YES! It's a great place to climb.
Be safe!
