A long list of different user-contributed routes in the Berkeley area is also available on www.bikely.com (although, obviously, we can’t guarantee their correctness).
Keith Vetter has also provided a very nice guide to the East Bay hills which includes elevation, length, and descriptions for many of the climbs in the area.
