Lovers Leap Lovers Leap Multi-Pitch Adventure top

Lovers Leap is likely the best moderate multi-pitch climbing site in Northern California. Most of the "classic" routes are 5.7 - 5.10 and are characterized by steep cracks with horizontal dikes. This unique blend of features allows for some steep, wild and memorable climbing. Coupled with easy access, walk-off descents and good camping nearby, its no wonder Lovers Leap is on every climber's wish list. MAS guides can lead the way to an excellent adventure.

"Lovers Leap is RAD! Bonus is that the guide Tony helped my crack climbing and showed me some cool anchoring tricks for my own climbing." (Mark Gillian - 2007)
