Katie Hill is running for Congress in California's 25th Congressional District (Santa Clarita, Simi Valley, Palmdale, Lancaster, and the northern part of the San Fernando Valley). Just noticed her new campaign ad where she is Sport Climbing. Can anyone identify the route(s) she is on?

Oh, oh. Conservatives better get somebody out on the rock in a hurry! A free solo might do it.

I thought for a second she grabbed a draw, but then saw she was reaching for a hold behind it. So she still has my vote!

Great drone angles on Texas Canyon. Competent video shoot.

She's climbing on the NE Face of the Elephant's Ear (shown in photo above), so it's probably:

[Edit:] See dpotter05's post below - route is actually Cowboy Coffee 5.11+.

(Honeybee is on the left arete; Cowboy Coffee on the right edge).

...and Marge Doyle, a Democrat who is running for the Congressional District that includes Joshua Tree and the E Side, hosted a showing of Reel Rock in Mammoth on March 23rd.

A congress person who leads 5.10! That is pretty cool.

Here is a funny video of Katie Hill taking her staff on a climbing outing for team bonding. Or, why you should never take non-climber staff members climbing just because you can.

She is a very attractive candidate.

(But is there something missing here: "She will fiercely defend the rights and dignity of workers, women, seniors, LGBT people, immigrants, and the disabled." ?)

Her opponent, Steve Knight, covers that demographic. He's taken pro-confederate flag, anti-immigration, anti-environment, anti-LGBT, anti-Obamacare positions so it makes sense for her to point out the contrasts. It is a very purple district, so she could have a shot, particularly if there is a wave, despite him being a local legislator for many years. In the last election, he only won with 54%.

Steve Knight is a trump clone, another moron.

I know, a trivial omission in the great scheme of things. But it's a Hillary kind of slip. Her opponent is something else, indeed. I thought the ex-mine owner from WVA who spent time in prison and is now running in the Repub senate primary sounded bad!

Dingus, have you looked at Jessica Morse, who is running against McClintock? Good candidate.

Are you suggesting that she doesn't support black/African American types? Hmmm..

Just because someone says they like Ice Cream doesn't mean that they don't like cake. . .

Lol!

As best I can tell from her video she is a gate-in kind of gal, god bless her.

Not an issue. More important is gate up/down.
