Donner Pass - (Last Minute Event - Sorry)

Donner Pass (map)

Selected By: Arin Finch

This is a last minute event.  I didn't want to plan this event early and be at the mercy of the weather.  I won't lie, it will be a bit cold.... but the sun will be shining!  Might be your last chance to climb Donner Pass without all the approached covered in a ton of snow! For me, its my last climb of 2011 and I want it to be at my favorite spot!  I'm camping tonight and climbing tomorrow.  I plan to start climbing around 9am but it will be cold so I encourage others to wait until at least 11am before climbing.  I will be near the Star wall or the Black wall.  I get good cell coverage and think it best for everyone to call me at 530-933-89 two eight if you show up early.  Otherwise, I will see you in the parking lot by school of rock (west of the bridge) at 11am.

We will be climbing 5.8 through 5.9 Trad to set up TR (Top Rope) and will hit routes for sport climbs 5.10 - 5.12a with some being a mix of trad and sport. We can setup TR for all routes if someone completes the lead.  I don't recommend this event for beginners but if you want to try, we will help!

Items to bring: cold weather clothing, harness, belay device, climbing shoes, and some warm boots or slippers to belay in. If you have a dynamic rope, bring that along with any cams, nuts, stoppers, etc.

Directions and details can be found here

There is 4 of us attending so far....

    I'm just a beginner, but can't pass up a chance to learn. If the routes are to difficult for me I'll belay. I'll be in a grey ford f250 with a camper, I might camp in the parking lot. I'll have the coffee on!!

    perfect weather, beautiful views, great people to share it with...the only thing that could have made it better was if the day was 5 hours longer. And of course if I would have started climbing 10 years ago!!
