Leonidio Hot Rock
A popular spot due to the many mid grade slab and wall climbs. It has beautiful views over the surrounding area, solid rock and is well bolted. Not so good for kids at the base of the crag, and if the sun is shining, it will quickly be too hot, except on cold winter days.
Drive west through Leonidio and take the right turn towards Vaskina. This steep road has many hairpins. park at the 6th, and follow a single trail with red marks that leads round to the base of the crag. About 10 minutes.
