Location: CA : Tahoe Vicinity : Woodfords Canyon : 2nd Alcove : Quoia the Destroya (5.9)
By: Milton Mugambe When: Nov 24, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: This excellent climbs leans deceptively to the left about 2/3rds of the way up, so be especially careful to protect for the follower after each hard move. Both a #5 and a #6 camelot, although not necessarily needed for lead protection, are very valuable to prevent the follower from swinging off the climb and into the corner to the left. Also a #2 camelot is needed as a directional at the top before traversing to the anchor use a long runner to prevent rope drag.

Location: CA : Tahoe Vicinity : Woodfords Canyon : Wood Hood : Smearing for Jesus (5.11b)
By: Milton Mugambe When: Nov 23, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: A more direct pitch leads up to the base of the slab and the chain anchor. This pitch starts thirty feet to the right of the bushy 5.8 approach pitch. Climb a short hand crack, that rises from a ramp, to a ledge and climb 4th class terrain, straight up the the base of a clean hand that parallels a right-facing flair/corner. Climb the hand crack and flair to a shallow right-facing corner along a finger crack. At the top of the corner step left and go up and left to the to bolt anchor below the e... more >>

Location: CA : Tahoe Vicinity : Woodfords Canyon : 2nd Alcove : Quoia the Destroya (5.9)
By: Ryan Curry When: Nov 22, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: I brought both a #5 and #6 Camalot when I led this. I did place the #6 at the exposed section at the base of the left-leaning crack, but determined that, for me, I wouldn't haul up the big stuff again as there are other gear options to be had.
Also, there is some looseness up high after the bulge, but once again it is easily avoided and will probably be cleaned up after a few ascents. Just take care and use common sense.

Location: CA : Tahoe Vicinity : Woodfords Canyon : Sun Wall Area : Sun Wall Middle (5.10b)
By: Aerili When: Nov 20, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: The sling anchor above Sun Wall Left looks old; I preferred to build a gear anchor. We did use the sling anchor to lower to Sun Wall Left's open shuts, pulled the rope, then set up a rap from there. I intend to replace the slings at the top with new webbing next time I am out there and climb this route.
A local who is creating a new guide to the area also said he intends to change the anchors at the top of Sun Wall Left at some point (I think).
