Lat / Long: 38.785024, -120.250053
descrizione
A hillside above highway 50 covered with tiny crags and boulders, and a few main towering spires of granite.
Amongst a barren rock field you will find many traditional routes, along with some more difficult sport and mixed routes in an excellent, yet unsheltered setting that's almost eerie at times. Watching other parties climb is easy, since there are absolutely no trees surrounding the spires.
You can climb here from late fall to early summer before it gets too hot, and even in the winter on heavy drought years.
The black and white granite of The Phantom Spires will remind you of Yosemite, but like most Tahoe granite, isn't as glasslike.
avvicinamento
The original developers hoofed it uphill from highway 50. Today we have the luxury of a rarely maintained logging road. Low clearance cars must park on Wrights Lake Road, which adds about a mile of walking each way to the approach. The dirt road is closed seasonally during snow cover, check with Eldorado National Forest's website for current status.
etica
Trad rules. Bolts are only tolerated on new lines where no traditional pro can be had. If in doubt, don't drill.
storia
These formerly phantom rocks were unleashed from their concealment by a forest fire in the 1980s.
1.1.9. Lover's Leap 267 routes in Crag
- Summary:
-
Arrampicata su roccia, Arrampicata trad e altri stili
Lat / Long: 38.801054, -120.136691
descrizione
This area is an excellent 250 to nearly 600 foot tall chunk of mostly vertical granite, containing hundreds of cracks crisscrossed with thousands of horizontal dikes. These dikes are key to reducing what would otherwise be very steep and difficult traditional routes, into routes with good rests and abundant holds, resulting in an area with relatively moderate grades. You will find over 250 developed routes that range from low bouldering traverses to 4 pitches tall. Some routes are bolt protected, but most of the sport climbing is 5.10+ YDS or harder, as the abundance of traditionally protected routes in close proximity to each other discourages squeezing in a bunch of moderate sport face climbing. All of the routes demand less than 20 minutes to "hike" into, as the entrance path is part of the pioneer trail, and therefore excellently maintained and quite wide.
Lovers Leap can sometimes seem crowded in certain areas, especially in the summer on weekends. However there is an almost limitless number of adventure routes and hidden classics that rarely ever see any traffic. As long as you're willing to step outside the box and try something that is not a "trade route", you will never have to wait in line or climb anywhere near other climbers... ever! Lovers Leap has a higher concentration and number of routes in close proximity to each other than any other crag in California. Add to that it's wide range of difficulty in routes and there is more than enough to keep everyone busy for a long time.
The main formation is traditionally divided into these walls, from right/west/closest to the campground, to left/east/furthest:West Wall, Main Wall, Central Wall, and East Wall. The second largest formation is the Hogsback. Many other small developed walls abound, mostly not yet covered on this site (seven or more of these are covered in Carville's Tahoe climbing guide). The nearest and most popular of these are the Lower Buttress and Dear John Buttress. The Loaf Boulder and Monks Rock are major boulders right outside the campground; other potential abounds in less convenient and obvious pieces of granite.
limitazioni per l'accesso
For all access issues, please contact CRAGS, the local affiliate of the Access Fund.
As of 2020 CRAGS is running a major multi-year stewardship project to help address the significant impacts this classic area has faced, from decades of high levels of climber traffic. If you have or plan on climbing here and are able to donate either money or time, your contributions will be greatly appreciated!

Lat / Long: 38.546053, -120.339528
sommario
A 1.5 mile stretch of unusually featured granite boulders and outcrops at 6000' altitude, right beside hwy 88.
descrizione
The highest quality, most concentrated area of problems is at 'The Pinnacle' at the eastern end, but the 'Alien Sector' is also relatively concentrated, and there are scattered boulders throughout the zone.
Be aware that there are a lot of mountain lions in this part of the Sierra, so best not to be here alone, or around dawn or dusk (when they're more active). It's no coincidence that Cat, Panther and Tiger Creeks are all nearby natural features...
limitazioni per l'accesso
Located within Eldorado National Forest, so no restrictions on climbing.
avvicinamento
Park right beside the boulders on forestry road 8N37, or (early season) carefully park in one of the few turnouts along this stretch of highway 88 (making sure your car is well off the road) and walk up the hill.
For 'The Pinnacle' it's better to come in from the Lumberyard Fire Station end of 8N37, opposite and just downhill (West) of Ellis Rd.

Some big, lesser known domes.
descrizione
A fantastic, slightly old-school area comprising several distinct domes and walls. The centrepiece is 'Calaveras Dome' itself, a massive 1800' high dome on the southern side of the Mokelumne River.
limitazioni per l'accesso
No access issues, as its located in National Forest.
avvicinamento
From CA highway 88, turn right (south) onto Ellis Rd (poorly signposted) and drive for several windy miles to the bottom of the valley. At the bottom, turn left (East) and follow the road along the Mokelumne River (with several crossings) until the domes loom into view.
dove alloggiare
There's plenty of free camping just downstream from the domes. The official National Forest sites have pit toilets, picnic tables and fire rings, but there is no potable water anywhere in the valley.

1.2.6. God's Country 28 routes in Field
- Summary:
-
Tutti Bouldering
Lat / Long: 38.635271, -120.156694
descrizione
A tight cluster of 3 great boulders located right at 7900' elevation (so great in summer), and only a couple of hundred yards off the road. Somehow managed to avoid getting burned in the Caldor Fire, so still shady and pleasant.
avvicinamento
Carefully park beside highway 88 just east of the turnout between Maiden's Grave (~¾ mile to the West) and the western end of Tragedy Springs Rd (~½ mile to the East). Do not park in or at the ends of the turnout! The shoulders here are narrow, so you may need to park several hundred yards east, at a shallow road cut with unusual “pancake stack” rock layers on the southern side, where it’s possible to park fully off the road.
Find the tall blank boulder just off the road, just east of the turnout and on the other side of the road, then head straight uphill to the boulders.

The large, heavily glaciated basin around Silver Lake.
descrizione
A large area with a huge amount of rock, both bomber alpine granite and (mostly unclimbable) volcanic choss. Like the nearby Kirkwood Lake / Caples Creek area, this is an excellent place to explore if you're the adventurous type.
1.2.8. Two Sentinels 0 routes in Area
1.2.9. Kirkwood Lake / Caples Creek 0 routes in Area
descrizione
A large and complex area of domes, slabs, and walls up to about 100m in height (though mostly much shorter than that).
While the area has been climbed on for many decades and has some fixed gear here and there, information is (deliberately) very scant as there is a desire amongst the local climbing community to preserve this area as somewhere that can provide a first-ascent-esque adventure experience.
If you know what you're doing and are after that experience, this is a wonderful place to visit. Just please don't publish what you find, so that others may also have that same experience.
avvicinamento
Kirkwood Lake parking lot is the single best place to park for this area, though it can be exceptionally busy on weekends, and some of the cliffs are better accessed from the Lake Margaret parking lot and trail, or various parking lots along Caples Lake.

sommario
Top roping and bouldering on fantastic alpine granite, with great views over Red Lake and into the Hope Valley, and just a short walk from the car.
descrizione
A small but complex area of glacial benches and boulders right beside Carson Pass. Most of the taller cliffs have been extensively bolted with fixed top-rope anchors, but because of the unusual placement and spacing of these bolts long slings and/or a second rope are needed to try to reduce force multiplication effects. Most of the cliffs appear to have had a single bolt installed every 3-6 feet along the cliff top - a highly unusual arrangement that somehow manages to be both inconvenient and overbolted at the same time...
There is more information on the top-roping areas here.
avvicinamento
For all areas, park at the Meiss Trailhead parking lot. The first (huge!) boulder is visible right beside the parking lot, while the other areas are accessed via a climbing trail that climbs the hill just to the right of this boulder.
1.2.12. Elephant's Graveyard 0 routes in Area

The Blue Lakes and surrounding areas are PG&E land.
avvicinamento
From 88 in Hope Valley, follow Blue Lakes Rd (paved) all the way to the end at Lower Blue Lake. From here turn right and follow a well maintained dirt road along the east shore of the lake, then along to Upper Blue Lake.
Do not take Forestdale Rd from 88 unless you have a high-clearance 4WD and/or an ATV, and lots of time.

sommario
The best sport climbing within 2 hours of the Bay Area, along with some good trad at The Grotto.
descrizione
Table Mountain is the remains of a 9 million year old lava flow that originated near Dardanelles Cone, approximately 60 miles to the east near Sonora Pass. These lavas flowed down the ancestral bed of the Stanislaus River, solidified into hard igneous rock (Latite), and in the intervening period the surrounding softer rocks were eroded away, leaving Table Mountain standing up above the surrounding area. It is one of the longest and best-preserved "inverted valleys" in the world.
The resulting cliffs offer steep, generally positive climbing on blocky (and occasionally columnar) bullet-hard rock.
limitazioni per l'accesso
Access to some of the crags at Table Mountain can be tenuous, with some crags on private property and some of the access trails crossing private property. Make sure to check the Access Fund (http://status.accessfund.org/) for current restrictions, and always be respectful of the property owners.

Lat / Long: 38.204148, -119.878557
descrizione
An extensive area of high quality alpine granite, easily accessible off of Highway 108. In addition to lots of roped climbing, there is a lot of bouldering potential in the surrounding area (including on the drive in).
avvicinamento
If heading East on Highway 108, take a right on Crabtree Rd a few miles before Pinecrest.
If coming from Pinecrest Lake, follow Dodge Ridge Rd to the Dodge Ridge Ski Resort and take a signposted right turn at the welcome sign for the resort (where the one way loop starts). After a quarter of a mile or so this connects to Crabtree Rd - take a left.
From this junction the routes combine - follow Crabtree Rd to the Bell Meadows turn off. Stay left here on forest road 4N37 and drive all the way to the end, where there are several large parking lots. All of the Burst Rock climbing areas are accessed from this parking lot.
Note: Don't take forest road 4N34 from Dodge Ridge Ski Resort unless you have time to kill and/or want to go exploring. Although it connects to 4N37 at the far end, it's in much poorer condition than 4N37, and is therefore much slower (and could be impassable in early season). Lots of hunters also use this road during hunting season - if you go exploring off the road wear brightly coloured clothes.

Located at the base of a scree field on the west side of US-395, it's almost as if Caltrans made a pullout just for your bouldering.
