Bay Area Bouldering, California, USA
|
Approach time: 5 minutes
Season: Year Round Number of problems: 25 Type of rock: Sandstone Overview
The Fort Ross Boulders were discovered by the visionary local climber Richie Esquibel in the summer of 1996. His discovery helped usher in a new era of bouldering on the sandstone of the North Coast. Richie, along with Marcos Nunez, developed the original classics on the main overhanging face of the Fort Ross Boulder. These are some of the best and most challenging problems on the entire Pacific Coast. The steep problems on the main face start low and top out high, with big moves between blocky edges and sandpaper slopes. Most of the year they have soft sandy landings that allow for fearless dynos and carefree falls. Notable Bouldering Problems
