Top 15 Boulder Problems in the Bay Area - Spring 2017
*=ok **=good ***=great ****=local classic *****=world classic
"Grand Finale" (aka "Relentless") V10***** low sit start ("Living A Dream" V6***** stand or "Livin La Vida Loca" V8**** original sit start - Fort Ross -- FA: V6 Marcos Nunez/Richie Esquibel, V8 Chris Summit/Russ Bobzien, V10 Ryan Tolentino.
"Fort Rossta" V6***** sit start (V4/5***** stand) - Fort Ross or "Living a Nightmare" V7**** (V5/6**** stand )-- FA: V4/5 Marcos Nunez, V6 Richie Esquibel/Chris Summit?, V5/6 Jim Thornburg, V7 Chris Summit
"Eco Terrorist" V10***** - Castle Rock -- FA: Chris Sharma
"Groundation" V7**** - Castle Rock -- FA: Chris Summit?
"Yabo Roof" V5**** - Castle Rock -- FA: John Yablonski
"The Classic" V3***** stand (V4**** sit start) - Castle Rock -- FA: Bruce Morris?
"Watercourse" V0/1R**** - Berkeley -- FA: John Sherman?
"Nat's Traverse" V8***** traverse low or V6/7**** traverse high/all holds - Berkeley -- FA: Nat Smale
"Scotts Arete" V5**** stand start (V6**** sit) - Berkeley -- FA: Scott Frye
"Hellspawn" V7***** sit start or "Hell Awaits" V4**** stand (V8**** low sit) - Putah Creek -- FA: V4 + V7 Chris Summit, V8 Charlie Barrett

A few of these I could swap out with so many other equally classic problems but for now these are the best IMO. These are also only the legit publicly accessible ~half of all classics found in the Bay Area.
