ABOUT Goat Rock

This digital Goat Rock climbing guidebook gives you GPS navigation, verified topos, and beta for hundreds of climbs. Explore classics and hidden gems with offline access to maps, directions, and beta videos. Whether it's your first visit or fiftieth, KAYA makes your Goat Rock days smoother, safer, and more dialed.

Sometimes in life, there is a reward for being willing to walk just a little bit further. While there isn't a large amount of bouldering around Goat Rock, some of the lines are among the best in The Bay.

From either parking lot, walk down the Saratoga Gap Trail toward Castle Rock Falls for 1/2 mile (about 10 minutes), and turn right at a fork following the sign for Goat Rock Trail. You’ll reach Billy Goat Rock in 1/4 miles (about 5 minutes).

Fun to Kilter outdoors! Main challenges were the heat, not dabbing, and getting blinded during the topout 😂

Way Dubious Contortionist Low v8
One movers are such demanding teachers, but the juice is worth the squeeze. My breakdown: time the brace breath; believe the right foot is bomber; establish high over the left side; generate right to left, in to out, driving left knee over the left foot; push push push hard the left foot. And magically bam catching the first jug feels chill. Hard to grade, but feels soft / Pockets deserves that upgrade.
