Vacaville Boulders All Bouldering 27 routes in area

An extended field of perfect basalt boulders scattered across a picturesque hillside. On a clear winter's day you can see the snowcapped 'Sierra Nevada' range off in the distance. This is a high quality area with substantial opportunities for circuits; the only downside being how hot it is for much of the year.

The problems here are generally steep (vertical or more) with mostly good landings. Some problems do have rocks underneath, so a mat and spotter are highly recommended.

Only the most commonly climbed boulders and problems are listed here, but given the steep and featured nature of the rock there is significant potential for more problems. Aaron Rough's incomplete guide is a good resource if you're interested in learning more about what motivated locals have been doing here over the years.

Notes:

• because prime climbing season here overlaps with California's wet season, it can be worth bringing a small tarp to try to keep your shoes and pads dry. Some of the landing zones stay muddy through winter and into spring.
• don't mess with the cows, and think twice about bringing your dog. If you do, please keep it on-leash at all times.
