Overview
This area is more about the location and potential than the actual climbing. After a short hike on a good trail, you get to a relatively remote location. There are about 10-15 boulders in the main concentration and many more problems scattered around. The problems are mostly V0-V3 with many harder projects yet to be established. Supposedly, the true motherlode is in Sierra At Tahoe’s bowl. You’ll have to ask around or do some exploring yourself to find out whether the rumors are true.
