The Needles, Gorge of Despair, and More Tuesday, September 9, 2014 7:30 PM, Griffith Park
Kris Solem had been climbing all over California for more than three decades; Stoney Point, Tahquitz, Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Courtright Reservoir, Church Dome, The Needles, etc. Name a crag in California, and Kris has probably climbed there, maybe even put up a route or two. His cur- rent project is a future guidebook for The Needles, which is due for release this fall. The book will feature rich history, compelling photographs and, of course, the routes. If you ask though, Kris will tell you that the best rock he has seen in California is at the Gorge of Despair, a wild and remote area of Kings Canyon.
Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at the SCMA General Meeting, long time climber Kris Solem will be sharing photo- graphs and climbing beta about Califor- nia crags; near local favorites, as well as the farther away and more remote. Starting with a brief coverage of Joshua Tree and Idyllwild areas, the program will then move on to Courtright Reservoir whether Kris was involved in the devel- opment of a fair number of new routes. The bulk of the program however will focus on The Needles, the subject of Solem’s future guidebook, and the lesser known Gorge of Despair in Kings Canyon. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about old favorites and new areas you might want to visit, and to ask this seasoned veteran questions.
The meeting will be held in the audito- rium of the Griffith Park Ranger Head- quarters in Griffith Park, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles. The meet- ing starts at 7:30 PM with some brief general club business followed by the presentation. There is no cost to attend and members as well as non-members are always welcome to come and see what the SCMA is all about.
See you there!!
TY

Hi all. Sorry, normally I would not post on this thread as it is not really appropriate. But for some reason I've been getting emails and seeing Facebook posts etc., by folks who think this event is this Tuesday. IT IS NOT.
Tuesday September 9 for those who are interested.
Thanks, hope to see you there. I'll do my best to make it worth your while.

Ana you should reschedule your C-section one more day or something. Kris is only going to do this once. You can have more babies anytime.
