Description
Located right next to the San Francisco Bay, Coyote Hills is a hidden gem in the East Bay.
The climate is typical of the Bay Area, mostly mild,although it can get rather windy.
The park will range from empty on weekdays, to fairly crowded on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
All of the climbing spots are secluded, with very little amounts of shade.
This is not a climbing mecca, so chances are that you'll have the area to yourself.
The rock is metamorphic, and very solid. It is highly unlikely that any hold will break.
In some locations, the rock is sharp, so watch your hands.
This is mainly an easy climbing area, it can be used for low toproping of 5.10 or less, or it could be used for highball bouldering of widely ranging grades.
There is some hard stuff that you could do here.
