Northern
California Bouldering highlights 50 of the best bouldering areas
from just north of Yosemite all the way up to the Oregon border
and west to the Pacific Ocean. With color maps, action photos and
supertopo photos as well as detailed descriptions of all
the boulder problems it’s easy to use and easy on the eyes.
Nearly every type of rock imaginable is included from limestone
and sandstone to granite and volcanic tuff. All of the areas included
are immersed in a variety of world class scenery from sea level
to the alpine environments of the high Sierras. This guide contains
new material highlighting new areas, and a selection of the best
areas from the other two guides already in use, Bay
Area Bouldering and Lake
Tahoe Bouldering.
Northern California Bouldering includes new areas near
Sonora and Bear Valley in the Central Sierras all the way up north
past the best Tahoe areas to Bald Rock and Mt Lassen in the northeastern
corner of the state. The order of the book then travels southwest
down the Central Valley to the Bay Area’s best, then up north
past a few newer inland areas and finishes in the far north on
the Pacific Coast at the Arcata areas. Also included in brief detail
are 20 Bonus Areas that are less popular or newly developed like
Mount Tamalpais and the Sierra Buttes. All combined it makes a
grand total of 70 areas with over 1700 problems!
