Stress Management Left is a bouldering area in the Yuba River Ranger District of Tahoe National Forest in California, about a mile from the town of Spaulding. It sits among several climbing areas, with Stress Management Boulder and Entrance Rock each about 0.1 mile away. The area is a bouldering destination, with eight routes all rated on the V scale. The grades run from V0-1 up to V5-6, and the hardest of them is "2. Project" at V5-6. The routes are listed as boulders, so the climbing is done on rock rather than on a climbing wall or via anchors. Summer is the warmest stretch. Typical averages from the nearby Lake Spaulding weather station, at about 5,150 feet, show July and August highs around 82°F with lows in the upper 40s, while winter highs sit in the low to mid 40s. The Sierra Discovery Trail starts about 0.6 mile away, and the Spaulding Lake Trail is about 2.2 miles off. North Fork campground is about 2.7 miles away, and paddlers can reach the North Fork North Fork American River about 3.9 miles from the area.
