Early April I took a break from a long week of High Rise Window Cleaning to hike and explore a popular trad climbing destination for the Tahoe area known as Pie Shop. Having never been here before I was concerned about navigating the area, this was compounded by the fact there is no printed material available for these climbs, only a sentence here or there on Mountainproject. We arrived by noon and spent about an hour hiking from the car to the base of the "Main Wall", though we might have saved 20minutes if we were more familiar with the spot. The granite looked amazing, the slope of the wall was great for smearing, there was snow melt runoff in spots trickling down the slabs, honestly it seemed like one of the better quality areas I've visited in Tahoe in 5years of climbing. I plan to return and hopefully to lead the 5.7 center crack by the name of "Crepes Corner".
