Pie Shop
Named after an actual pie shop
that used to be near the base of the trail Pie Shop is the closest
climbing to South Lake Tahoe. Right off the road is some of the South
Shore's finest bouldering, and 20 minutes up the trail is great
climbing at all levels. The climbing is mostly trad although there are
some bolted routes as well. There are some top ropable climbs, but only
with gear for anchors as far as I know. While the cracks are quite
clean for the most part the granite on the faces and aretes can be
razor sharp.

Directions-
The parking for Pie Shop
is located at a pullout on Sawmill Pond Road
about 1/4 mile from highway 50. Find a trail taking through the
boulders and follow it up to Lunch Rock. Keep an eye out for a left
fork otherwise you will end up on the right side of the wall.
