The Grinch Boulder

California > Lake Tahoe > S Shore > Meyers Area > Christmas Valley

Description

This boulder can be seen from the road. Has a few good warmups with nice top outs and downclimb.

Easier grades or maybe we're just not doing the problems correctly, hard to tell.

Getting There

From highway 50, go south on South Upper Truckee road for 1.6 miles. Boulders are on the right side of the road. Park at the pull outs near the grinch/ tall boy boulders. Approach is 1 min.
