Any word on whether and ice is in and climbable in the Donner Pass area? I'm guessing the train tunnels may have bouldering ice (any recommendations on spots much appreciated), but what about Rainbow, or even the spot at Sugar Bowl that ASI brings ppl to?
Hoping to get out this Sat.

Never been in there, not flaming you. All the photos I have seen before show people traverse bouldering, had no idea you can do pitches there.

Hey biotch, if you ever want to meet up and talk face to face how about message me you little c*#ks@cker.

The rock is more in than the ice. We are not very widely known for our ice.

Farming ice in this area has not ended very well in the past.

The best piece of a gear for a Tahoe ice climber is a fast car and an alpine start.....LVC is good right now...
