South Lake Tahoe offers exquisite year-round climbing for every ability and taste. Trad climbers can jam smooth Yosemite-like cracks at Sugarloaf or Eagle Lake, pull on steep knobs at Phantom Spires, lead their first multi-pitch route at Lover’s Leap. Sport climbers can clip bolts at Luther Rock, Luther Spires and Mayhem Cove. This book focuses on some of the highest quality granite in the Sierra. McNamara has put together a complete guidebook--with interesting history, colorful route descriptions, and great photos. --Jeff Achey, Editor, Climbing Magazine SuperTopo guidebooks are some of the most valuable climbing tools I own. --Tommy Caldwell, 5.15 Climber SuperTopo is the authority when it comes to delivering super accurate, super detailed topos. --Duane Raleigh, Editor, Rock and Ice Magazine Climbing Magazine once computed that three percent of Chris McNamara’s life on earth has been spent on the face of El Capitan— an accomplishment that has left friends and family pondering Chris’ sanity. He’s climbed El Capitan over 50 times and holds nine big wall speed climbing records. In 1998 Chris did the first Girdle Traverse of El Capitan, an epic 75-pitch route that begs the question, Why? Outside Magazine has called Chris one of the world’s finest aid climbers. He’s the winner of the 1999 Bates Award from the American Alpine Club and founder of the American Safe Climbing Association, a nonprofit group that has replaced over 3,000 dangerous anchor bolts. He also serves on the board of directors of the Access Fund. West Climbing & Mountaineering Guides South Lake Tahoe Climbing Chris Mcnamara
