Beaver Street Wall Rock Climbing

UPDATE ON AREA CLOSURE: The park near the Beaver Street Wall base area was closed in Spring 2023 due to a large rockfall incident. As of late August 2024, it’s now re-opened. A well-built re-enforced barrier has been installed. The barrier blocks off Bolt Route, which appears to be a permanent change.

Located in the city of San Francisco, this area is part of the San Francisco Parks system, so access is not a concern. You're in San Francisco, so the weather can be wonderful, but is most likely going to be foggy and windy.

This small toprope area holds some interesting climbing on very glasslike rock, that can be quite tough on the hands, and in places almost impossible to smear. On the harder routes, if you can find it a grip, finger hold, nub, anything, you'll probably need it. This crag contains some great balancy moves, despite it's limited number of climbs.

There are chains connected to the fence above to set up an anchor, which can be accessed by walking south on Beaver Street, taking the alley to the right, and following the path behind the tennis courts up the backside of the wall. Do not climb the part of the wall facing the street (the one with the No Climbing sign), the neighbors have complained about rocks falling onto the sidewalk and hitting cars.
