Incredible Granite Multi-Pitch Climbing!

Lover’s Leap is a striking granite cliff band that looms above Highway 50 and the local community of Strawberry. It is the premier multi-pitch trad climbing venue in all of Tahoe! At Lover’s Leap, you’ll find granite walls ranging from 200 to 500 feet tall making this the perfect venue to learn multi-pitch skills or enjoy some classic climbs.

There are over 200 routes and each wall has a variety of climbs that range from low fifth class to 5.11, which means there’s something for first-timers and seasoned climbers alike!

Lover’s Leap is located in Strawberry, CA and is just under an hour and half drive from Sacramento which makes it an ideal location for a day trip. There’s also a cozy campground at the base if you want to camp out under the stars after a fulfilling day of climbing.

I grew up mostly in the North Eastern US but began traveling and climbing after high school and never looked back. I’ve been lucky to climb in over 10 countries and have done many first ascents on 3 continents. Now I mostly travel in my janky van in the Great American West with occasional trips abroad. I’m surprised to say I’ve been guiding for nearly a decade on rock, ice, mountains, and skis but now mostly focus on delivering highly personalized and precise rock climbing instruction.

It would be fun to list more accomplishments but I truly don’t think that’s what climbing is about. My goal is to be a damn good teacher of the skills people need to prepare for and take on some of the biggest challenges of their lives; not so they can brag about it on Instagram or in a website About page :), but so they learn about themselves, the people around them, and the world we live in.

I’m an AMGA Certified Rock Guide and have some expensive other bits of paper too. I pride myself in thinking hard about the skills I teach and how best to present them to you in a way that’s clear, concise, actionable, and appropriate for your skill level. Above all else I care. I care about you as a human being and hope we can get outside and learn from each other soon!
