Lovers Leap

Lovers Leap is a fine granite formation smack dab in the middle of California. Located on highway 50, just outside of the Lake Tahoe Basin, Lovers Leap is only an hour and a half from Sacramento and twenty minutes from South Lake Tahoe.
Lovers Leap is mostly a traditional climbing area. Though full of stellar vertical crack systems, the area is great for beginners due to the horizontal dikes that run sideways across the walls. This creates jug sized hand holds located in the middle of many of the difficult crack climbing sequences. The climbing is comprised mostly of multi-pitch climbs of moderate length, usually between 3-5 pitches.
The best season for Lovers Leap is during the Spring and the Fall. The middle of summer can be quite hot, though usually it is climbable in the shade.
