Loon Lake
Plentiful, quality granite bouldering spread throught a beautiful glacially carved bowl. Rock is of high quality, typical tahoe granite, a little polished in spots. At 6500 ft. Biggest bouldering area in Tahoe (currently 200 problems). Best areas to check out are Hidden boulders (awesome maze of caves and rock corridors), Getaways (big and bold with hard (>V5) lines) and UFO area (good concentration of moderates V2-V5).
