CREATE YOUR OWN TIME ON THE ROCK
Pick your day, hours, and bring your gang! Rock climbing is a great equalizer, you can bring friends and family members of different experience/ability/fitness/interest levels. If someone wants to watch and “maybe try,” that is fine too. Those who are not climbing can observe safely and enjoy the sun and view. It is a lovely way to spend a day, or part of a day together. We customize our climbs to your groups’ needs, so if you are trying to go climbing with the kids and then fit another afternoon activity in afterwards, that absolutely works. Just let us know and we’ll help you plan. We bring all the gear, all you do is show up and go rock climbing! Text, email, or call: 530-386-2102 / jenny@skinastc.com

Directions from Truckee: Head west on Donner Pass Road crossing over I-80 and continuing on to Donner Lake, continue driving around the north side of Donner Lake to the west end of Donner Lake and then continue straight up (this is called Old Highway 40) for 2.75 miles. Just 100 meters after you pass a Scenic Lookout and immediately cross over a short but high bridge (Rainbow Bridge) you’ll see cars parked on the right in front a large rock slab (easy climbing) called School Rock. There is no signage and Siri/Google won’t know the name School Rock. If you get to the top of Old 40 and the road flattens out, you’ve gone 200 meters too far so turn around please!
The climbing prices listed do not include gratuity for your guide. If you had an enjoyable climbing experience, it is customary to give your guide a 15-20% percent gratuity or whatever amount you feel is appropriate. It is very much appreciated.
