Routes as sport in Lake Tahoe, Nevada Side

The sport route on the good looking face left of (just before) the access gully. Crux bulges to start, then a very pleasant featured slab (slightly flakey & friable) to a double cold-shut lower off.

The left-hand route. 6 bolts to muzzy hook lower off. An excellent first lead.

The right-hand route. 6 bolts to muzzy hook lower off.

The first route you come to, on the right wall of the East Gully, towards the bottom. Two independent starts, both of them tricky, and both of them comprising the crux of the route. Strongly recommend stick clipping the first bolt. 5 bolts to lower off.

Follows the obvious right-leaning diagonal crack. 9 bolts to muzzy hook lower off.

Note: if top-roping the route, clip the 3rd bolt as a directional to avoid uncontrolled swings into the ground from falls low on the route.
