Lone Pine locals Myles Moser and Amy Ness just finished putting up a new 16 pitch route on Keeler, called Blood of the Monkey, rated VI 5.12
They spent 10 days, 9 nights on the wall and added 13 bolts, none to pre-existing routes. The route joins the Lowe route and Ammon McNeely's Australopithecus for a handful of pitches.
Richard P. posted these awesome pics on the Whitney Portal forum (which I am shamelessly linking):
To quote Myles and Amy: "It was f*#king rad, man!!"
Trip report and topo to come.

That's Awesome! Congrats Myles and Amy!
Looking forward to checking out the topo and seeing which parts shared Australopithecus (aka: Southern Monkey).
Cheers, Ammon
