Registration

Women's Rock Weekend! Ladies let's get together for two days of fun sport and top rope rock climbing at one of Tahoe's best crags! Prior climbing experience helpful but not required. Loaner gear may be available. We have room for up to 6. Hope to have you out with us!

DETAILS:

  • What's happening: Top rope rock climbing and sport climbing at Bowman Valley. This is a series of secluded crags beneath the Bowman Lake Dam where a number of easy to difficult sport climbs have been developed in recent years. The rock is heavily textured granite, with excellent friction, and ranges from slab to overhanging roofs with permadraws. There is excellent swimming in the lake by climbing above Larry Land onto the dam and crossing over the spillway.
  • Where to meet: Take Bowman Lake Road off of Highway 20, usually approached via Interstate 80. Once you turn off of Interstate 80 and head down highway 20 (toward Nevada city) you go 3.5 miles and you will turn right onto Bowman Lake road. Continue on Bowman Lake road for 13 1/2 miles and you will come to a bridge below Bowman Lake dam. This bridge will be the landmark for the areas in Bowman Valley. The road starts out paved but the last 5 miles are gravel and a little rough in spots, high clearance vehicle recommended.

  • Minimum / Maximum: 3/6
