San Francisco Bay Area Rock climbing 2,389 routes in region

Although the outdoor climbing and bouldering opportunities in the Bay Area are reasonably limited, what the region does offer, thanks to its violent geological history, is an impressive variety of rock types.

This creates a wide variety of climbing styles, which helps to keep the stoke alive even after you've visited every crag.

And being a weekend trip away from the endless amount of world-class climbing in the 'Sierra Nevada' certainly doesn't make this a bad place to be a climber!
