  • Deep Creek Exploration

    Curiosity draws Ann and I out for a drive in the truck to find the Deep Creek crags. We’re just scouting without climbing gear. The 5 miles of steep dirt roads nearly thwart us, but after recovering from one wrong turn we find it. It’s a remote place that’s pretty bushy and overgrown to get…

  • Tahoe Meadows to Tunnel Creek Run

    Colin and Steve have proposed running Tahoe Rim Trail segments over the summer, starting with this one. John and I join for the day, and Ann graciously agrees to shuttle a vehicle to the bottom and do the much harder hike back up. Preparing the shuttle Steve points out Mt Rose John and Colin over…

  • Racing lizards home

    In a last vain attempt at morning climbing we rise at 4:30am. Preparations move a little more slowly, and it’s already getting hot when we reach the base of Racing Lizards 5.7. We manage the first pitch in the heat, but decide not to venture further in the baking sun. One last luxurious vacation lunch,…

  • Barbershop buttress and Pine lake

    Waking up is easier on our second vacation morning. We’re making coffee at 6am, hoping to sneak in a little climbing in the morning sun before it gets too hot. Today we hit the Barbershop buttress where I start off on the very apropos Vegetarian Delight 5.8, a nice leaning crack with a crux that…

  • Sheelite climbing sampler

    Ah, vacation. Sleep in as late as we like. For Ann and I that’s 7 am. Are we old yet? Even so, it still feels damn hot when we head out with heavy packs to check out some of the storied granite climbing here. The easier climbs at the PSOM slab lure us first, but…

  • Pine creek and Gable lakes trail meander

    Some warm but scenic driving brings Ann and I to a huge rocky canyon I’ve seen many times from afar but never up close: Pine creek canyon. We’re eager to explore but also ready to relax into a long weekend. The paved road up the canyon is surprisingly good due to the tungsten mine at…

  • New trails up Thomas creek

    Ann is feeling ill today, so I go out on my own to explore some new trails I’ve glimpsed from the crest above Thomas creek. I’m excited when I find a trail map posted at the trailhead. Rim to Reno trail map There’s an irresistible loop shown, but it’s much further than I planned to…

  • Stand Up and Paddle Jamboree

    Ann’s paddleboarding proposal is taken up by a bunch of friends from the Reno Collective and beyond. The weather and water are perfect. We make a fairly long trip east to some boulders in the water, one of which is good for jumping off, if you can believe the water is deep enough. It’s so…

  • It’s nice to have a local crag

    I love having some climbing options close to town, even if they’re modest. The routes at Thomas creek always satisfy – enough that we still head for our favorites rather than try some of the new unknown routes we’ve never done. Cloudy skies keep us cool, and we return with time for a nap before…

  • Play day at Big Chief

    We’re exhausted from moving ourselves and prepping the new Reno Collective location, and we feel the need for a play day. It starts off a little chilly, feeling like a fall day despite the nice patch of mountain pride blooming along the approach trail. Mike joins us with both his son and his dad, so…
