I am heading out to the bay area tomorrow and am interested in some quality trad climbing within an hour or so. Any thoughts?

Wait a couple months for the atmospheric river to dry out.

Castle rock , sandstone , porous , weakened when wet , not smart to crank on.

Trad climbing is marginal at best there anyway ...

Just bring your XC, backcountry, or downhill gear and enjoy the >5' of snow we got in the Sierras today. Come back in the spring or summer for Lovers Leap, Tahoe, or Yosemite.
