Eagle Lake Cliffs
Eagle Lake Cliffs are an
awesome way to spend a day climbing. There is sun, shade, caves, water,
scenery, and awesome rock. It's a combination that's tough to beat.
It's not for the faint of heart, though as there are but a few
moderates mixed in with many more difficult routes and they are
generally not top roped without climbing something else first. The
approach is about 40 minutes, but relatively easy and quite beautiful,
though not as beautiful as the return trip during which points you
right at Lake Tahoe and Emerald Bay. There is a combination of trad
routes and bolted lines, as well as a good mixture of cracks, chimneys
and face climbs. Many consider Space Walk (which is on the Supertopo
cover) to be Tahoe's finest crack.
