Tahoe area - peaks with interesting routes?
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 10:40 pm
Hey everybody, I am looking for interesting peaks within a 2-hour drive from Sacramento (as I probably won't be able to swing any multiday trips this fall and winter). By "interesting" I mean anything with a class 3/4/low5 route to the summit, couloirs, steep snow, ridges - anything beyond the usual scree and talus scene we have here. I know my standards are pretty low... There's the obvious stuff like Roundtop, Pyramid east side, Tallac couloirs - but do you know of any non-obvious peaks, or non-obvious routes on obvious peaks, that could provide a little excitement? Thanks in advance.
