Description

Follow a trail around the main rock left and downhill you'll find another rock that appears to be about 15 feet tall. Walking around its right side, the rock becomes quite taller, reaching roughly 25 feet. Old bolts and scars mark this bouldering only rock as once something more.

Many crash pads and a few good spotters could be used to protect you in the event of a highball fall, but luckily that is no longer necessary because there are now 3 pairs of bolts at the tops of the different climbs.

Like the rest of Remillard, this rock is an interesting concoction of various types of rock, and it's sharp slopers and pockets seem like the shouldn't be solid, but are. The left side of the face does have some loose rock, so beware.

An excellent traverse heads right to left across this face with many variations. Another good highball route heads up the left side of the face. Most routes are in the 5.8 - V2 range.

Being part of the Berkeley City Parks system, there are no access issues.

You'll find this rock in partially blocked sun all afternoon.

There are two descent routes, one going off the uphill side of the rock, and the other heading down the face by the trail on the short side of the rock.

Getting There

Approach time: 1 minute

Head left around the main rock past the descent route, where you will see the back side of the rock standing 15 feet high or so. Follow the rock downhill and you'll find the clearing and main face.
