]Crisp morning temperatures in the Sierra Nevada have signaled that Fall is coming and reports are starting to trickle in that some of the aspens are starting to turn color up on Ebbetts Pass. The change in weather has also triggered the urge to get out and climb before the days shorten and less agreeable weather arrives with the onset of winter. Fortunately MAS is prepared with an abundance climbing programs scheduled for the remaining months of 2005. Favorite MAS Fall Climbing Sites: (Sierra
Nevada Areas) |
|
Lovers Leap -
easy access, many superb multi-pitch climbs in the 5.5 - 5.10
range = tons of fun for everyone. Tick off a classic this
autumn! Only 15 minutes from South Lake Tahoe along Highway
50 above the scenic town of Strawberry. (photos) Phantom Spires -
high on a sunny hillside across and down the American River from
Lovers Leap, Phantom Spires is rich with steep cracks and chicken
heads in the 5.6 - 5.10 range and 1-2 pitches in length. Great
site for your first multi-pitch climb.(photos) |
|
Pinnacles -
steep scenic knobby faces only 1.5 hours south
of San Jose. Join
MAS for the day or weekend and experience the thrill of outdoor
rock climbing. Good car camping nearby. (photos) Cosumnes River Gorge - short
steep cracks which resemble Yosemite style climbing and offer great
training and climbing fun. Great terrain for perfecting your
crack jamming techniques. Castle Rock - wild sandstone
formations on the crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains taunt climbers
to scale up the maze of huecos and caves. Only 0.5 hours
from San Jose and easy access make this place ideal for day trip
programs. (photos) |

BaseCamp is
excited to announce the addition of "natural meats"
to the restaurant and pub menu. These meats are guaranteed
to have no growth hormones, antibiotics or genetically modified
feed. Cattle
and chicken are living free range and foraging on
grasses and seeds. From
grilled chicken salads to filet mignon to grilled burgers,
our chefs and customers are praising the quality and taste
of these new meats. We
think you too will enjoy the difference. |
