Dude, don't take this place so seriously...doing so will seriously take the fun out of it.
Just grow a thicker skin, and keep posting up good sh#t like this. It'll all work out.

Looking for this canyon I spotted on Google Earth. See if it had any potential. Found it and it marginally does. If someone took enough time they would find a few acceptable lines. Or tons of short sport stuff.
Think I found some bighorn sign.

I don't mind sharing the location. Just wondered if anyone would actually be interested. 1000 creeks gorge. About a 4 1/2 hour drive one way from Reno near the Oregon border. Along the 140.
I did walk in about a half mile. (perhaps about a 5 mile end to end hike) Seems to get hiked fairly regularly and has a nice trail.
The gorge opens at two ends (east and west) and has access at both ends by dirt road plus at least one access point easily reached by road on the south rim. I had to use the west road that starts at the campground of Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge near the headquarters by the Opal mines. The east end of the road was a bit too steep and wet from recent rain for my 2wd car.
Some of the walls are at least 700feet maybe more. Much of the gorge is deeper than it is wide, which is unusual. Unfortunately every big (complete) line I scoped out would involve some serious loose rock risk. More than I am interested in anymore. Not much in the way of smaller crack systems. Lots of old school chimney type routes if you like em. Yay for rock funnels eh?
Some pockety rock, lots of potential for short face sport routes. Perhaps long ones if into the work.

I've explored a bunch of canyons/cliff lines in SE OR and SW ID that are similar those in climbski's images. The rock is rhyolitic ash-flow tuff. He describes its climbing potential fairly well - lots of interesting fun short stuff (mostly sport) with potential for longer lines if you're willing to do a bunch of cleaning. The crack lines are typically discontinuous and associated with rock of poorer quality. Typically these areas are very hot in the summer and very cold in winter - so a few weeks climbing season in spring and fall.
