Lover's Leap

This granite crag rises majestically above the American River, just across the Desolation Wildnerness from Lake Tahoe. From beginner-friendly single pitch climbing to climbs rising 450 feet above the old Pony Express, Lover’s Leap has a bit of adventure for all. Easy approaches and easy descents, in addition to all of those amazing horizontal dikes that allow for the most moderate steep walls, make the Leap an amazing spot to spend a few days. We even have a lovely quaint campground about a 3 minute walk from the cliff.
