Tahoe-90 foot wall question

I'm going to Tahoe for my honeymoon in late June. My fiancé is still top rope only, so we're gonna go to 90 foot wall for a day midweek. Are the top rope anchors pretty good out there? Should I bring anything out there to build anchors, other than master points? Currently I carry 150' of static rope to build top rope anchors, which works great in Maryland. Should I bring out my static rope? Thanks.

If I recall correctly a 20' cordelette will be good enough for the anchors. I've only been there 2-3 times so I might be wrong, but don't recall wishing I had more.

climbing coastie is spot on. 20-25' will do it. The anchors are slightly set back from the lip. You definitely won't need 150' of static though.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
