Description 

Eagle Lake Cliff sports some of the best cracks in the Tahoe Basin.
It is well worth the half hour approach up scenic Eagle Creek Canyon.

Getting There 

Eagle Lake Cliff lies above the south side of Eagle Lake.
To get there, hike the Eagle Lake trail to the lake, about one mile. Walk along the south shore and the cliff is obvious.
