how to get a map to bouldering locations?

I've researched some spots I want to boulder at in Lake Tahoe, like Memorial Boulder, Echo View, Split Rock, Middle Bliss, Ladder Boulder, Alpine Club, and The Binder. Ive already visited Pie Shop a few times. I can't find a map for these boulders though, as they're not on google maps... do I need to purchase a guidebook to figure out where these spots are, or am I just supposed to have magic powers to divine their location? How can I get a map?

YES, you probably need to buy a guidebook to find some of these boulders in Tahoe.

The right guidebook should have what you need. Some areas are better documented than others on MP.

1) Go to your nearest local climbing shop 2) Tell them you want a guidebook for bouldering in Tahoe 3) Buy the guidebook 4) Look for climbing area in guidebook and get directions 5) Go bouldering

The guidebooks by Dave Hatchett are excellent and extensively cover the Lake Tahoe area, and many nearby areas. 3 volumes with more boulder problems than imaginable. Great directions (with maps), GPS coordinates, color picture topos, star ratings, sun/shade info, and tons of other misc. information. If you will be bouldering in the area they are a must have.

Go get a guidebook. The ones mentioned above a great.

Bliss is an easy area to find. Go to the state park and look for rock. The middle section is visible from the road and full of quality problems.
