Lake Tahoe Area

Crags described in the order they're approached as your drive up the 50 from Sacramento towards Tahoe.

Sugarloaf

This crag is on the south side of the road directly above the small town of Kyburz. It's probably most famous for having the Tany Yaniro route Grand Illusion 5.13c (30).

Pinnacles

The Pinnacles as viewed from the road a few miles up from Kyburz. Doesn't look a great area, more one for the regulars who have climbed out the better crags.

Lover's Leap

I have a separate page for Lover's Leap.

Castle Rock

Actually across the border in Nevada, and climbing is banned here now I believe.
