Description

Bass Rock has numerous small outcroppings of rock that are big enough to boulder around on. Mostly filled with easy eliminates and shorter traverses, there is a short, steep overhanging wall that has a few enjoyable and mildly harder climbs. With this rock being so close to the water, at times the area that you would need to pad can be under a foot or two of water so bear the tides in mind when climbing here.

Getting There

Park at the bottom of Bass Rock Road. Walk down to the water and Bass Rock is several hundred feet in front of you, the point furthest out into the water. The climbing at Bass Rock is near the back of this small point, on a small overhung wall near water level.
