NATURE NEVER CLOSED
Despite Covid it has been a fantastic summer for rock climbing here on Donner Pass in Truckee. Our Rock Climbing School opened in June with a detailed set of procedures and precautions in place, and all has gone well. Thank you to our amazing students and awesome guides who have made it so fun for all! What you’ve said:
“From start to finish, our adventure with NASTC Rock Climbing School far exceeded our expectations. The booking process was easy and personalized to my son’s ability level. His instructor was positive, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Both days of climbing were incredible, life-changing adventures!!” -Chalsey“The team at NASTC is the best! My kids have loved climbing with Clinton and have enjoyed refining their climbing skills with him. Best of all, he emphasizes safety and has really drilled the best practices of climbing into them. Of course, the breathtaking locations aren’t bad either! Looking forward to many more years of climbing with this team!” -Jackie
Because nature did not close. And so many of us all enjoyed Truckee/Tahoe or other rejuvenating nature destinations. Nothing provides a cleansing for the soul in these terrifically challenging times like mountains, lakes, meadows, rivers, rock crags, and oceans. So we hope you’re continuing to get outside regularly and safely (with social distance). Because as Toni Morrison said, “At some point in life the world’s beauty becomes enough.”
So we are hard at work here at NASTC creating more Covid-safe access to nature’s beauty…next up we’ll be playing in the snow (read on). In the meantime, we’re offering rock climbing lessons through October.

GET READY FOR BC SKIING
If I had a nickel for every time someone asks if the resorts will be open this winter, I’d share my wealth with you! We don’t know; we can only hope. But as Covid rages on, we need to be ready to play where we can earn our turns with natural social distancing…in the backcountry! This winter NASTC will offer daily private guided backcountry tours in Truckee/Tahoe for all levels with our certified guides. We will also help you with rentals if you need. Or if you want help buying equipment, contact us.
BACKCOUNTRY SKIING WITH NASTC
NASTC AVALANCHE SCHOOL
The promise of pristine powder fields and underpopulated terrain are luring more and more skiers and riders into the backcountry. However, with more access the risk has never been greater, and the need to know basic safety protocols, rescue techniques, avalanche hazard awareness and management are essential to survival and having a great time out there. This winter we will offer the AIARE level 1 and 2 on seven weekends Dec-March. The potential of a hybrid online learning program including Zoom sessions is being developed by AIARE and we’re very confident we can deliver a fantastic learning experience. We’ll keep you posted as we finalize these flexible courses. The field work should remain the same. We are already taking reservations, and – warning – these classes always fill up.

SUPPORT TRUCKEE-TAHOE
From weathering interstate closures to harsh mountain conditions, one of the most wonderful qualities of the Sierra Nevada business community is its resilience in times of adversity.
Due to the unexpected nature of local business closures amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the long-term risk our mountain towns face is being unable to recover when the crisis has subsided. If we allow that to happen, then we allow our region to be changed forever by a temporary interruption. Community members strongly impact how well our area bounces back; please help us preserve our community institutions.

NATURE NEVER CLOSES
We are eagerly awaiting the day soon when the state government allows us to reopen our Donner Summit Rock Climbing School. We have a detailed plan to ensure the health and safety of our guides and climbers, and we are currently taking refundable reservations including 5% off for summer and autumn climbing, as well as all our skiing adventures and avalanche courses. But nature is not closed. So we hope you’re getting out there regularly and safely (with social distance) in order to maintain mental and physical health. As John Muir once said, “And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.”
By forcing us into isolation, the coronavirus has reminded us all of a second pandemic so many suffer: loneliness, depression, and anxiety. All three ailments are rampant and growing, pushing deeper and deeper into a population that had become more sedentary and indoor-based even before the virus hit. We may be grateful for things like Zoom and Facetime for connecting us with loved ones and our jobs all spring, but the pre-pandemic irony is that our high-tech always-in-touch world actually makes people feel more disconnected and lonely. Time in nature really helps us heal by decreasing stress, blood pressure and anxiety while boosting our immune system and sense of calm. Getting outside with family and friends enriches us doubly. The wilder the place, the better! So we’re hard at work planning that next skiing or rock climbing adventure for you…
While we cannot enjoy our national or state parks, or every beach, crag, or trail yet, we can get outside. NASTC staff is here to help you – confirm plans to get to those places we crave – soon!
NASTC’s ROCK CLIMBING SCHOOL
Plan to climb 1:1 with a guide, or with your shelter in place small group. We will keep you posted, and thank you for checking in with us anytime, and booking in advance. Our guides are eager to see you on the rock and we have a detailed plan to ensure your and their health and safety. Book your reservations now! FOUR NEW OUTDOOR FILMS YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS….ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE STILL BINGEING TIGER KING OR OZARK
The best documentaries from this year’s film festivals look at quixotic quests and devastating disasters, here is a short summary of one. Try these 3 films also: Spaceship Earth, Rebuilding Paradise, and The Cost of Silence.
Piano to Zanskar
“Making pianos is the most boring thing that you could possibly ever do,” says piano tuner Sir Desmond Gentle at the beginning of Piano to Zanskar. The film then follows him as he travels 5,000 miles from his London shop to hand-deliver a 176-pound instrument to a remote village in the Himalayas. His goal is to enable music lessons at a local school, and if Gentle completes his expedition, he’ll have placed the highest-altitude piano in the world.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
And if you want to talk about goal-setting, give us a call. Maybe it’s to climb something harder than last year, go on a ski trip you currently feel you’re not strong enough for, or just get more fit to feel better. We think goal-setting is extremely important, now more than ever. Goals give us something to work towards and make our daily work-outs all the more gratifying. LET’S DREAM ABOUT SKIING AGAIN
Silverton, CO is big mountain skiing at its best. We’ll take you Jan 14-17. This course is for serious powder skiers, no groomed terrain is available. You ski helicopter skiing type of terrain here in the Colorado backcountry without the expense. Silverton is not your typical resort: you leave all the glitz and hustle of resort-skiing behind in exchange for fresh, untracked powder in a quiet and beautiful setting. While Silverton is a lift-accessed mountain (count it: one lift), there is some hiking involved, especially to get to the really good stashes.
Do not be intimidated. Silverton Mountain is for advanced AND expert skiers. You must be comfortable with black diamond slopes, variable snow conditions, and hiking 5-20 minutes along ridge lines.SILVERTON CAMP JAN 14-17 INFO WAYS TO HELP TRUCKEE-TAHOE

SAFE & PRACTICAL GUIDE TO GETTING OUTSIDE
Yes, you can (and should!) leave your house to go for a walk right now. Here’s what you need to know.
On Sunday, April 26, almost six weeks after San Francisco’s shelter-in-place order went into effect to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, I took a stroll down to Ocean Beach. Since “lockdown” started, it’s been an important place for residents in my neighborhood to get exercise while social distancing. The main roadway that runs along the dunes has been closed to traffic, allowing pedestrians and bikers to spread out.But that day, the road was packed. Families clustered near the curbs, taking up half the road; bikers weaved closely between people; and pedestrians cut across all this traffic to get to the beach. San Francisco’s shelter-in-place orders are among the strictest in the nation, and this level of activity seemed to defeat the point.
And of course, in the middle of it all, I was part of the problem.
Don’t get me wrong—it’s more important than ever to go outside right now. The mental health benefits of nature can help alleviate the fear and anxiety spiked by a pandemic. And with many of us stuck inside for the foreseeable future, going out to hike, bike, or simply stroll will help us stay active and healthy, breathe fresh air, and soak up Vitamin D from the sun.
But while a walk in the park might feel like a blissful escape from everything that’s going on, where and how we can recreate outside has changed in light of the crisis. Here’s what you need to know to keep yourself and others safe while going outside during lockdown.
Is it OK to take a walk right now?
Yes! Unless you’re sick or are being quarantined after contact with a sick person, you are absolutely allowed to go outside. Even in cities with strict shelter-in-place orders, which direct residents to stay at home unless they need essential services, such as food or medical care, or engage in essential businesses, there are exemptions for outdoor activity. But whether or not you’re on lockdown, you should still continue to observe the principles of social distancing on your hike or walk. And it’s most effective if you avoid large groups of people and try to stay six feet away from others.
Can I catch the coronavirus from runners and bikers?
Recent speculation on social media that you can catch the new coronavirus from runners or bikers passing by caused a lot of panic. But that theory has largely been debunked. A recent study by MIT’s Dr. Lydia Bourouiba did find that coughs and sneezes can release clouds of particles that can travel as far as 26 feet, but Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Columbia University, tells Vox that “the risks of virus transmissibility in the air outdoors is likely quite low in those contexts, although this risk hasn’t been definitively measured.” Sunlight, wind, and temperature can all decrease the virus’s infectivity and transmissibility.
Do I need to wear a mask while exercising?
After the CDC recommended that people wear masks or cloth face coverings in public settings, there has been uncertainty as to whether this applies while exercising outdoors. Currently, there is no compelling medical reason to wear a mask while walking, running, or cycling, if you are maintaining proper social distancing, Henry Chambers, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of California, San Francisco, tells the Wall Street Journal. But that only applies if you are really avoiding the crowds and maintaining six feet of space (or more) from others.
However, masks have become a sign of solidarity these days. Consider wearing your mask around your neck so you can pull it on to be courteous when you’re passing others.
Can I hike with friends?
It’s tempting to use your time outdoors to catch up with friends and neighbors, since social gatherings at houses, restaurants, and bars are no longer advisable. And kids in particular may be clamoring for playdates in the park. You can, of course, invite the people you live with to join you for a walk, but meeting up with people from outside your household could defeat the purpose of these strict containment measures. To stay socially distant, avoid close contact—according to the CDC, that means staying farther than six feet away from others.
Even with the best intentions, I don’t think I could manage to stay six feet away from a friend on a hike. I can picture it: We’d have oddly loud conversation over the awkward distance and trip over ourselves trying to gauge proper separation on a narrow path. And then at the end of it all, we’d probably accidentally hug goodbye. And I can’t even imagine keeping an energetic toddler from bouncing off everyone in the vicinity.
Does that mean you have to cross the street whenever you see a person or only go outside if there’s no one else around? No, simply passing another human being is a low-risk situation, but things get tricky when you’re in a crowd, even if you’re with people you love and trust. For now, it’s best to not hike with others.
Where can I go for a walk while social distancing?
Avoid favorite hiking trails and aim instead for quieter spots. Popular places are still getting mobbed during this pandemic: Many national parks were recently forced to close because the crowds created unsafe conditions, and even just last weekend, hundreds of thousands of visitors swarmed the beaches of Southern California. But the more people there are in an area, the harder it is to maintain that required six feet of distance. Even as shelter-in-place restrictions start to loosen in the parks and playgrounds of cities across the country, it’s still best to avoid the crowds. Rather than head for a beloved overlook or waterfront, consider a long walk around your neighborhood.
AllTrails is a great resource for finding trails, paths, and urban walks near you. The app and website use your location to provide you with nearby hiking suggestions, with information about distance, difficulty, and popularity. You can use a map view of search results to find trails within walking distance from your house or filter by usual trail traffic.
Self-isolation is hard. It takes a lot of effort, preparation, and energy to change your routines and lifestyle, and it can get lonely. But if you’re making all that effort, don’t erase your hard work by putting yourself in a crowded place. Besides, aren’t the outdoors a little nicer when it feels like you have them all to yourself?
Will national and state parks be open?
The short answer is that it depends on your location. While the Department of the Interior (DOI) initially waived admission at all national parks to aid in social distancing, through March and April, many parks began to shut down to discourage the resulting overcrowding. By late April, hundreds of National Park Service (NPS) sites had shuttered.
On Friday, April 24, 2020, Secretary of the Interior David L. Bernhardt announced that the NPS and DOI would begin to gradually increase access to the parks in accordance with the president’s three-phased plan to reopen the country. However, many closed parks have yet to begin this process.
In smaller parks, closure can mean that visitor centers and facilities stop operating and special programming is canceled, but larger, more popular parks have closed roads, parking lots, and specific areas, or even barred access to the entire park.
In parks that are still operating for day use, park bathrooms will be open and trash services will be running. But if you’re visiting a closed park, you will not be able to rely on those same facilities or emergency services.
For now, it’s best to continue avoiding large, popular parks and focus instead on the national, state, and local park areas closest to your home. Traveling into other communities right now, especially the small ones near many national parks, can put you and local residents at risk.
Check the status of your local park sites on the NPS website or state park system websites.
Much like a year ago, when we wrote about how to visit a national park during a government shutdown, the loss of funding to national parks when they are forced to close can be devastating. You may want to support these beautiful spaces by donating the equivalent of an entrance fee to your favorite spot.
What else do I need to know?
Mixing up the time of day you go for a walk (or a run!) can also help you avoid crowds. Many folks love a sunset stroll, but sunrises tend to be lonelier. At lunchtime, jogging routes can get busy, but if you can pop out at 10 a.m. or 2 p.m., you’ll be less likely to fall into step with others.
Finally, staying healthy doesn’t just mean avoiding COVID-19. Bring a water bottle on your walk to make sure you’re staying hydrated. Don’t forget to wear a hat and sunscreen if you’re going to be outside in the sun and layer up if it’s chilly out. A spring sunburn or head cold is the last thing you need right now.

ROCK CLIMBING CLASSES THIS SUMMER?
Dear Climbers, we don’t know yet when we federal, state, and town guidelines will allow us to resume offering guided rock climbing on Donner Pass, but when we do, plan to join us! We hope to offer private and small group lessons with our certified guides by July. Maybe climb with the people you’re sheltering in place with. We will keep you posted, and thank you for checking in with us anytime, and booking in advance ([email protected]). 10 Rock Climbing Home Workouts

3. Pull-Ups
4. Push-Ups
5. Bicep Curls
6. Plank

8. Crunches
9. Bicycle Kicks
10. Flutter Kicks
This is a very helpful set of recommendations from the American Alpine Club. With the easing of shelter-in-place policies across the country, restrictions on access to crags are beginning to change. Deciding whether it’s appropriate to head back out to your local crag will be an important and localized decision. To help, The AAC offers the following Guiding Principles on when and how to re-rack for the next pitch. GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
- Be respectful of rural gateway communities, and avoid traveling to these areas.
- Follow federal, state, county, and city health emergency guidelines and recommendations.
- Recreate close to home, don’t travel to climb. Climb with people from your home, or just one partner.
- Take cues from your local land managers and climbing organizations.
- Keep your outdoor objectives conservative. Climbing accidents will place further stress on first responders, search and rescue teams, and hospital staff.
-
Be kind, respectful, and patient with one another during this time. We all want to feel safe spending time outside; let’s work together to create an environment that allows this.
CHAIRLIFT TRIVIA: WHERE IN THE WORLD?
Fun flashback to 2006 and the famous slingshot lift, The Roca Jack at Portillo Chile. It goes 30mph up a 40 degree slope for about 45 seconds, comes to a jarring stop and then you peel off from the outside in (middle person holds it steady and gets off last)…it’s exhilarating. And if you’re lucky you’ll be riding next to a racer from one of the national teams, and she or he will likely peel off while the things still flying uphill! photo: Cath Howard
We don’t know if our Portillo Trip will go this August, everything depends of course on Covid-19. But all reservations will be refunded in full by us in the event Portillo cannot open, or if you decide you simply don’t want to travel.
PLEASE DON’T SHAME PEOPLE
FOR GOING OUTSIDEThe risks are generally low,
and the benefits are endless.
When communities issued shelter-in-place orders, people reasonably interpreted it literally, even though the fine print almost always said people could, and even should, go outside to exercise. And when staying home became a point of pride, some mental-health professionals said people were missing the point: Mother Earth is home too. “Our research has found that nature is not an amenity — it’s a necessity,” Marc Berman, a psychologist at the University of Chicago…”We need to take it seriously.”
