We had a great time sending On Safari, 5.6 Trad Arrete (65ft) at River Rock yesterday. This was an excellent line for the two of us as Amanda is still familiarizing herself with the process of giving a lead belay and I had the opportunity to place a couple pieces of pro near the top where the route becomes run out. The rock at River Rock is all granite though a little gritty and rough at times than most of what you see in Tahoe. The approach is quick, there is a decent variety from 5.6 to 11-, probably about one dozen lines sharing half a dozen sets of anchors, mostly crack climbing not much sport. A fun place to break in or escape Reno for an afternoon without making a far drive.
