I-12 ascends the right side of the steep, Southwest face of the I boulder. The problem is done by first stemming the notch, then traversing left along the foot ledge, and then by ascending the shallow corner. I12 can top roped using the bolts on top, or soloed.

I block traverse

Start at the notch and traverse into the middle of the I-Block and go up. First ascent was an onsight free solo by Royal Robbins right after he had soloed I-12

Start on the two blocky holds of the block traverse.  The you just go straight up the crux is manteling over onto the slaby bit.

Go up the obvious some what wide crack left of under the skin. Try not to fall on the block traverse rock

Walk up the stairs, then boulder to the highest point of Indian Rock.

Easy warm-up climb leading to a spectacular view of the bay.

Low/sit start hugging arete on lowest possible holds, then straight up the arete. Movement (arete slapping and hugging) feels like Static Reach @Catle Rock. Stand Start is listed in guidebook as V2. Potential sit start V9 or V10 ish.

A decent super easy climb.  Has a good view when you top out.

Sit start matched on the low crimp. Make a few moves to gain a right hand finger lock in the crack. Don't fall while topping out.

Start as for The Seam and branch out left doing a cruxy shoulder move. Is V12/13 is the Bay Area Rock guidebook.

Start in the are that you start for “The Edge” go up and onto the I-12 block there’s a big hold thing kind of poking out climb up to that and use it to go up. Exit left.

Sit-start with double hands on flat shelf right of `The Seam.' Move up through good grips & the arête and press out to the juggy lip to finish on the upper slab.

A great little traverse when the Pit starts to get you down. Can be an ankle breaker, so bring a pad.

Sit start to Couch Surfer. Start on a pretty small 2 finger edge on the left and a hand compressing on the right. We don’t know about any previous ascents but if you do know about the FA, name and grade comment below.

The only person I know that has sent is my buff friend Wyatt.

High ball traverse lots of moss and some holds have dirt in them.  This climb has a super nice view.
