Ascents in San Francisco Bay Area having Beta

Interesting 3D climbing, thoughtful placements.

Fun climbing

Lead this, there are bolts. Fun moves.

Burly for the grade, pretty fun

Also fun moves - bit chossy

Fun moves

Pretty fun, cool moves up high

Super fun, enjoyed the pockets. Felt steeper than it looked.

Very dubious gear, black alien + 0.3 camalot below the bulge, falling while leading could be bad, only go for it if you are sure. Loose rock on the arete.

Sit start. Super fun cross through movements with a poppy ending

Somewhat loose flake, doesn't really need gear tho TBH

Harder if you stay low, very fun, great footwork practice

Super fun movement

My new project😎

Great boulder 🤙🏾

I was really pumped when I tried the traverse😔 Maybe the next time

I finally made it!! 🤙🏾

I had wanted to try it for a long time, but I was afraid of falling from the roof… but It's easier than it really seems

Amazing highball 🥹

🤙🏾

clipped preplaced blue camalot where first bolt used to be

One fall at crux - read poorly, bad beta. New beta - traverse all the way right at crux.

fun offwidthing after rap clean

lowered before ledge - flailed as an offwidth, but didn't trust the big gear in the direction of fall as a layback

oops slipped

warm up? committing start, and rock was freezing, but was more attached than it looked

Great intro to granite slab cracks

Quality slippery granite layback and jamming

暴晒 绝美

Lohnender Boulder in schöner Umgebung.

Repeat as downclimb

Half-hearted pseudo attempt.

Looked like a big throw would be straightforward, but it was not.

Repeat as downclimb

Fun little mantle.

Wish it was longer!

The climbing is acceptable, the lack of an anchor, less so.

I had flashbacks of Kangaroo Point with every move 😛

Quite nice, techy slabbing actually. If only it were longer.

With all the polish, jamBing the crack instead of laybacking is definitely the way to go!

Might have done this one years ago, but I have no record or recollection of it so I’ll call it an onsight. A bit insecure down low, then a jug haul.

So weird, and somehow awesome. Like climbing on melted wax!

First multipitch outdoors - the climbing is easy but loads of sketchy holds, typical Pinnacles stuff. The double rope rappel got a little scary going down from P3-P1 and I swung out to the side. Wonderful views and easy access, though!

Several starts. One of them toward the left is probably a V1, but the middle one with the thumb press feels significantly harder (at least a V3 if not more, haven’t figured out how to top it out)

Decent climb, but don’t fall

Nice problem — did both the V2 variation (with far right foot on) and V3 variation (without the far right foot, and matching the crimp)
