Excerpt:
"Use of outdoor recreational areas and facilities with high-touch equipment or that encourage gathering, including, but not limited to, playgrounds, gym equipment, climbing walls,..."

..... sigh.....

At least high-touch activities in your own home are still permitted.

Conversely, would violently masturbating to disperse a crowd be encouraged?  Asking for a friend.

Considering the San Francisco 49ers play in Santa Clara County, ....


In seriousness, the 6 bay area counties all reference Santa Clara's order for their own.

Do police responses count?

Can you guys imagine your first reaction after this lockdown is lifted and you go outdoor climbing and touch the rock? I'm seriously afraid I'll have an emotional breakdown and will cry like a baby right there and then. I'm not even mentioning my climbing gym as I will DEFINITELY have an emotional breakdown once I step inside it again.
I'm starting to get so antsy. It's becoming impossible to sit still in front of my computer for hours when I know I'm not going to the gym in the afternoon. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Rock climbing allowed, however stay CLOSE to your home. Don’t come to Tahoe... unless you live here.

LOL, Weston, I consider Red Rock my “local” crag and I live 3.5 hrs away!  Joshua Tree is a “my back yard” crag and it’s 2 hrs away. 

Sadly I haven’t been climbing anywhere but my actual backyard for 2 months.

Masturbating did not make the list for approved outdoor activities

I would have to say that it is very narrow minded to considered “Tahoe” to be specifically at the lake. I suppose it’s my fault for assuming others understood. Funny how you pick the furthest point away also....

If you don't live in the basin, you don't live in Tahoe. And that includes Truckee.


You live near Tahoe.

I never said I did. I just know how people love to flock to Tahoe and the surrounding areas. All I said was people shouldn’t come up. You're welcome.

Seems like many people are out climbing, but not nearly as many who are out mountain biking...  I think all you can do is stay within your personal limitations.  Like really dial it back.  
You don't want to be the idiot getting a life flight right now.
