Crater Crag of North Quarry 

I just published a new guidebook titled "Golden Rock Climbs" that is a complete guide to N. Table Mtn (including the four newly developed quarry walls) and the sport climbs of Golden Gate State Park near Dude's Fishing Hole. The book retails for $20.00. There is a photo and information to the Crater Crag. I especially enjoyed "Misty" (5.11d), a sustained pumpy route that is interesting for bottom to top.

The "crater" is a 50-ft-deep hole in the top of the mesa, located between the Sea Cliffs side of the North Quarry (to the east) and the Pinnacle area to the west. Historical access has been via an old mining road over this narrow piece of the mesa, but this road now has closed signs on log barricades at both the north and south ends. I don't see the logic in closing these natural access points, as now new trails are developing to circumvent the closure blockades. Seems counterproductive.

Access update: JeffCo Open Space has done a lot of trail work on N. Table this year, including rebuilding (and reopening) the access trails to Crater Crag. Even nice signage to climbing areas. Kudos to the Open Space workers. Guess hidden treasures aren't hidden any more, but it sure beats closures.
