Gomer's Pile

California > San Francisco B… > E Bay Area > Berkeley > Cragmont Park

Description

This rock is located away from the other climbing, and consists of only bouldering on a 12' tall rock. The main existing problem is also appropraitely called Gomer's Pile, and goes at V7.

You will always find this rock in the shade hidden beneath the canopy of surrounding trees.

All routes will walk off the back of this medium sized rock, watch your footing as the loose leaves in the area make footing quite interesting.

Getting There

Access time: 2 minutes

From the entrance to the park, instead of heading downhill and left to access the top rope sections, head right up towards the observation structure. About 30 yards up the paved path, head down into the manacured lawn behind the hedge on the right.

Follow a small trail leading left into the trees for about 30 yards, and you're there.

Coming around the corner into the crux of Gomers Pile. One of the legendary Triple Crown routes when done in one day with Nat's & Grizzly Peak Traverse. Rumor has it, to earn the crown you had to run between them. At least one OG did three laps on each!
