I just found out I got an internship working for the City of Oakland for the summer. As much as I am excited about that, I am wetting myself thinking about climbing out there. I will be living in Stinson Beach and will have Friday thru Sundays to climb/recreate.
With my limited time out there, I want to climb as much as I can and the most classic stuff around. I obviously realize Yosemite is very close and I hope to make that my primary climbing target while I'm out there. Any advice on where to climb, what to climb, and who to climb with would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!

Stinson Beach to Oakland is quite a commute. I hope you have a car.
I am in San Fran myself and am always looking for weekend climbing partners. Yosemite is ~4 hours away from the Bay Area. Lover's Leap is 3 hrs and has some super classic stuff. Tuolomne Meadows is my favorite summer destination. It's an hour farther than the Valley but much mellower as far as tourons/tools/camping etc..
Cheers

Yeah I know it is a commute, but I'm staying with my cousin (free of charge) and we will be commuting together as he works there too. I do have a car for getting around.
I'm sure I will spend a little time bouldering, but I am all about getting to the classic areas. 3 days weekends should allow me to do all that.
Victor I am happy to climb with you. I'll pm you with my contact info...
