Two classic Bay Area outdoor bouldering areas, located right beside each other.

A variety of problems are found on the boulders and walls on the street side and summit of Indian Rock.

Bad Landing

Start as low as you can.

Start on Unnamed Arete and go left, well below the lip.

Awkward traverse right above a bad landing.

Fun steep jugging.

Next boulder right of Juggy Prow.

The following 5 routes are located on the huge chockstone looming above The Pit. The first 3 can be bouldered, but the 2 directly above The Pit are best top-roped.

Traverse right, staying off the top.

Start in the cave then traverse right and top out, avoiding the block behind. Scary.

Stand start is V1. Spotter strongly recommended so you don't fall down into The Pit.

Can also be started as for I-11.

While it's possible to go right around Indian Rock, most people start at the very bottom of the path and finish at the top of the top set of stairs (after crossing the Stairway Slabs).

The lovely short wall in the park across the road from Indian Rock. A great spot for kids and beginners.

The main formation in the park. Three separate fixed anchors on top, above 'Bucket Prow' (a long way back from the edge), the plaque face, and the 'Pinnacle Crack' face.

The obvious tall wall covered in large huecos. The belay (a metal pole and a bolt) is 20' back from the edge, so bring a lot of slings, or better yet, a second rope. There are also some opportunities for placing a trad anchor, which can come in handy for the routes to the left of 'Bucket Prow', or if the bolted anchors are in use.

Don't use either arete.
