We are truly spoiled here in the Bay Area, not only do we have awesome weather but there are some great environments to play in.

We headed up to do some bordering at Mortar Rock in the Berkeley hills and then down to a hidden little urban traverse under the Highway 24 freeway in Oakland. Climbers are not only amazing athletes but they also tend to have really fun and energetic attitudes. The sport really embodies a true community and lifestyle.
