Lovers Leap Climb, Strawberry, CA
In the summer of 1998 Nick Gray & Brian Biega spent a
warm summers day climbing the Main Wall at Lovers Leap.
Lovers Leap is a very nice climbing area just over the hill
from Lake Tahoe's South Shore. The weather was great and
the climbing was awesome. Below are some pictures of our
days adventure.
Corrugation Corner 5.7
Corrugation Corner at 5.7 is one of the best climbs at Lovers
Leap. There is a lot of exposure as the first pitch starts
almost two hundred feet up the Main Wall. You approach this
climb by hiking up from below to the Main Ledge which starts
to the right side of the Main Wall. Once you reach the ledge
you walk east towards the route. Corrugation Corner is located
just to the right of the famous Travelers Buttress one of
the Fifty Classic Climbs of the United States. The main
ledge takes you to the top of the first pitch of Travelers
Buttress or the start of Corrugation Corner.

line starting off of the Main Ledge. Travelers Buttress
follows the skyline starting below the Main Ledge and
joins Corrugation Corner one pitch from the summit.
