Ring Mountain

Flora and Fauna: Do not use trees as anchors!

All vegetation in the Ring Mt Open Space Preserve is protected and amongst other things this means trees must not be used as anchors. Rangers have found this to be a particular problem at Split Rock, and can issue citations to climbers who do this.

There are plenty of bomber placements for trad gear on top of Split Rock, provided you bring enough slings or (better) a second rope to extend those placements out to the top of the face.

Summary

Rare rock (blueschist), slippery slabs to top-rope and steep, gym-like bouldering in a stunning setting.

Description

Access issues inherited from San Francisco Bay Area

For any/all access issues at crags in this region, please contact the Bay Area Climbers Coalition.

Approach

Park at the end of Taylor Rd, Tiburon, ensuring that you're not blocking any driveways or roads. Split Rock is the obvious large rock straight ahead, while The Meatball and Turtle Rock are hidden out of sight up the gated road to the right.
