Stretching from the Sonoma-Napa Hills in the south and Santa Rosa to the west up to the Mendocino Range in the north and as far east as Mt St Helena and Cobb Mt in Lake County, The Mayacamas Mountains are the natural boundary between Sonoma and Napa counties world famous wine regions. The Mayacamas are the main backbone of the Coastal Range in the North Bay Area as well as the heart of my neck of the woods, my hometowns backyard :)

Here are the top 25 rock climbing and bouldering areas in and around the Mayacamas as of 2018:
