North Table Mountain

Climbing: 

Golden Cliffs has a high concentration of moderate routes under 5.11a. Most routes here are closely bolted and generally short (60 foot range), so a 50m rope and 10 quickdraws will be sufficient for most routes. Top rope routes are easily accessed by a couple of trails leading to the top of the cliffs. The climbing consists of vertical faces, technical cruxes, bulging aretes and even some cracks. 

There is only a single trail leaving from each of the two parking lots, and it takes an obvious course up the hill to the cliffs above.

North Table Mountain Outer Loop: 7.5 miles, 1,100 feet of elevation gain

Overall, this is a nice mellow ride that feels somewhat remote, despite being right on the edge of town. There's a decent amount of climbing, so the ride isn't trivial, but it's not technical, and it's straightforward to follow.

North Table Mountain has multiple different routes/trails that can be linked up to make a ride of whatever length and elevation gain that you desire. There are areas of single and double track climbing, as well as single track downhill, rock gardens, and undulating traverses.
