Routes in San Francisco Bay Area

Start below crack in center of face, but move diagonally left to top out.

From the large heuco, can also traverse left on jugs and downclimb the start of Embryonic Journey.

There are numerous classic variants on this panel of rock - ask a local for some pointers!

Mega classic. Two bolts on top for top-roping this and the next 3 routes.

Start as low as you can.

Sit start. Crack is off.

Up the slippery slickenside on small sharp crimps, or awkward, but easier climbing up the crack on the right (V1). Either downclimb the corner to the left, or follow the crack right around the bulge to a highball mantle. Bad landing.

The classic introductory Glen Park problem.

Please be gentle with the lower right-hand starting crimp - it has started getting slightly wobbly in recent years. In particular don't try to wobble it, and don't use it as a foothold!

A short arete that's part of the cliffs around Schoolhouse Beach with a few holds around it that make for a decent boulder problem. Perhaps best enjoyed while attending a friend's wedding on one of the easily accessible beaches along the coast. Top out into the parking lot.

Straight up from the obvious footledge through a shallow 1.5 finger pocket. There are several good variants on this panel of rock (including a V1 that veers left around the crux).

From the top of the diagonal ramp, reach straight up to the thin plate at the top. Harder if you're short.

Right arete.

Traverse left to right.

V6 variant traverses below the lip.

Sit start.

Start at the large undercling pocket at head height, about 4ft left of the base of the crack. Straight up through the obvious second undercling pocket.

Graded V2 in guidebooks, but that seems a bit sandbagged.

Start 10ft left of the base of the crack, at some low flat holds.

The same crack as 'Indian Crack', but on the other side of the boulder.

The first pitch can be soloed if the river is high enough. Watch for ledges just below water level though.
