Perfect place for auto-belay intermediate climbers, def build up my braveness…. Only issue is too many broke/missing grips

Such a cute place! If you've got your own climbing gear, definitely check it out. Some auto-belays here as well. You can also do some bouldering if you don't have gear.

Really excellent public resource. The auto belay systems are very nice if you don't have a friend to climb with. Either bring a climbing harness or do the shorter bouldering section.

Love the idea of a free outdoor wall climbing experience in a nice location with views of the bridge. However, it should be noted that you will need to bring your own harness if you want to climb the larger rocks. The smaller rocks are good for beginners. 🧗🏽♀️

Audubon climbing wall is great. Totally free and a great spot for entry level climbers to mess around and get a feel for climbing. Also a great spot to start learning lead climbing if you're interested. They have bolts that you can clip into to practice and a couple of decent routes. Not the most difficult climbs bit also not necessarily easy. Good spot.
