Your favorite bouldering place near SF
|
Hi there, |
|
More North Bay but I enjoyed Nut Tree/Putah Creek, Ring Mtn., Stinson Beach and Goat Rock. I like how the rock types vary form place to place in the Bay area and the areas can be really scenic. Have fun! |

Get the "Bay Area Rock" guide, it's got all the good stuff around the Bay Area. The one I have also includes sport routes and the like. You can pick one up at REI or a touchstone gym. The book looks like this: rockandsnow.com/69340/Bay-A…. |

Chad Namolik, thanks for your advice, yesterday I've met a couple at Mortar Rock, Berkeley and they also suggested me to try Stinson Beach. I'll do it as soon as possible. |

BayAreaClimber, thank you for the suggested guidebook, I'll take a look to it.Maybe they told you already, but make sure to check the tides before going to Stinson Beach. If you're there during high tide, the climbs will be in the ocean. |

The places that you and others have listed are all great--a few more of my faves include the often overlooked Glen Canyon park in SF (don't listen to the naysayers--there are some great, blocky easy-moderate problems there), Turtle Rock (one boulder with endless eliminates and a stunning view of SF), and if you head out to Stinson beach, make a day of it and stop at Mickey's beach for either sport routes or bouldering (again, check tides) and/or Mt. Tam for more stellar views of the bay and a smattering of pretty cool boulder problems and routes (see: campus girls). The Bay area guidebook mentioned earlier + Mountain Project should point you in the right direction. Cheers, AllyThank you. Unfortunately I still haven't had time to check out these places, but I definitely will do it. |
