Wine Country Bouldering

Wine Country Bouldering by Chris Summit & GunksApps

Wine Country Bouldering fall 2024 update is out! The original edition had 375 boulder problems total and this update has 200 newly added. The new problems are a mix of old classics that were not previously included, many brand new first ascents and a few open projects for a grand total of 575 VB-V12 problems. The new areas included are Ocean Cove with the epic DWS/TRS, over the ocean, "big wave boulder problems" on the water polished tafoni sandstone of Seafarer Rock right next to the campground and the nice little collection of quality lines in the cove to the south. The popular fun bouldering zone, The Quarry at The Call Box area in Salt Point State Park. Frog Woman Rock, off US101 in Mendocino County has a plethora of new problems at all the old areas, The Brave Boulders, Frog Woman Boulders and the Frogman Boulders. Frogman even has a few new local test-pieces, Fresh Squeezed V8 and the hardest of all the newly added problems in the update Osiris V10. Marshall Gulch on the Bodega Coast is a classic old school, low tide, sandy beach, soul bouldering spot and Mossy Rock in the Mayacamas Mountains is a small but precious volcanic boulder outcrop in the heart of Napa Valley.

One time payment of $24.99, updates for free for life. 10% of the proceeds goes to the Northern California Climbers Coalition to help fund future development, crag cleanups, trail work and graffiti removal.
