To escape the heat of the Valley on the 4th of July we decided to head to the Bay area for some climbing. Two areas were on the hit list. Mickeys Beach and the far gone Dry Creek Sea Crag. At Mickeys we climbed a couple routes from 5.9 to 5.10c on "The Egg". Which is a huge boulder with endless slab and steep face climbing. Later in the day we drove north on highway 1 until we were a few miles south of Fort Ross and hiked down the steep trail to the base of Dry Creek Crag. The climbing here is wild yet amazing.
PS. descending the trails to reach both crags required going down loose and very steep slopes. We saw a couple of snakes. Keep an eye out and take it slow.
