where will be good places to sport climb about 5.10ish and boulder v2-3?
thanks for your help.
Answer
Rowdy,
When you get town go to Sunrise Mountaineering in either Livermore or Pleasant Hill and pick up a climbing guide to the SF Bay Area.
There is some sport climbing at Mount Diablo (about 10 miles) from Pleasanton. There are also some bouldering/toproping rocks in Berkeley (15 miles).
The best part is that from Pleasanton you are only 3 1/2 hours from Yosemite Valley. Climbing is great there right through November. I have climbed in the Valley during every month of the year.
Good Luck
Jeff
