Nearest town in Shaver Lake , west of Fresno .  From rockclimbing.com:  “A great summer climbing area located at over 8000 feet in elevation, high up on the western slope of the Sierra. Fantastic dome climbing on over a dozen domes, the largest being about 8 pitches. Like Tuolumne without the crowds!” Join us in exploring this area.  Routes range from 5.4 through 5.12 and are great for all levels of climbers.  We could set up mock leads for new leaders or try to challenge ourselves on or off top-rope.    We’ll camp at Trapper Springs campground on the east side of the lake – should be lots of room to bring the families and friends.    For more info contact: Chris O’Donnell: christopher_odonnell@hotmail.com
