Happy to announce that Kris Solem, author and all-around-cool-guy is putting on his slideshow presentation "Wild Times In High Places", in addition to the eagerly waited 'Needles Climbing, A Complete Guide' at Kern River Brewing Co in Kernville, May 20th @ 5:30PM. A Facebook event page has been created and seating is limited (40 max). So, please RSVP to the event page. Please, no mass grouping (ie Joe Smith +20). If you have questions, please forward them to climb_on_dude@yahoo.com. In addition to the slideshow, KRBC has recently created a Russian Imperial Stout aptly named 'Igor Unchained', after the classic Needles route itself and to honor the FA'ist, Herb Laeger; a Kern River Valley local. This brew will be featured at the slideshow. Visit the event page for current and upcoming details, as there may be more surprises in store!

Hi Matt, I think a lot of folks don't do FB because they don't want to. Privacy concerns, time sink or some other reason. I hit up Dave about taking reservations from here via email, and registering them himself plus a list here. We'll see if he bites, or has a better idea.
I said this on the other thread. I think this one will probably be the last of these shows for me. Don't get me wrong - they're piles of fun and I'm learning a lot about presenting. This thing has snowballed, with all of these requests coming in and me saying yes to all.
I want to change my focus now, to do programs using my climbing and other things I've done to help motivate people with epilepsy to find more in life, to promote awareness of epilepsy, and to raise money for the Epilepsy Foundation.
The B'Field crew should come up to Kernville. Of course camping up there on Sat. night might be wise. We don't want lose anyone driving down that Kern Canyon road with a belly-full of Igor Unchained Stout :-)

Matt, glad your coming. Then again, you're local. LOL. Oh, and about the Igor in Bakersfield. SSSSSHHHHH....... ;)
If you have questions, please forward them to climb_on_dude@yahoo.com
As my Dad used to say, "If all else fails.......follow the directions." ;)
I will compile a list here and update as the email and FB RSVP's come in. Once we reach the 40 mark, that's it. Kris, I'm going to chat with Jillian tonight about some extra possibilities as we discussed. I'll chat with you later. List of people to be made soon. Got those folks covered who already posted they want to come.

As an update to the event, there will be a raffle! Proceeds will be going to Access Fund. Got some good prizes, so be sure to hit the ATM before arriving. You must be present in order to claim prizes won. Also, make sure you get settled in over at the brewery before the show starts at 5:30PM so you have enough time to grab a beer, buy your raffle tickets and head upstairs for the show. I have also updated the list.....over half full on this limited capacity show. Make sure you send me an email or sign up for the event on FB to reserve your seat!

A little update on the event.......getting in some good raffle prizes from near and far. Some big ticket items too.......a 9.2mm 80 meter rope from Black Diamond, BD cams, a rafting trip with Sierra South, just to name a few. Raffle ticket prices are as follows: (1) ticket = $4, (3) tickets = $10, 10 tickets = $20. Again, you gotta RSVP for the event and you have to be present to claim an prizes won. Also, get there early to purchase tickets (CASH ONLY) and grab a beer from the brewery before heading upstairs to the slideshow at 5:30PM. After the slide show, Eric Giddens (owner and master brewer) will be providing a tour, followed by the raffle. Above, is the current RSVP list. Email me if you plan on making it at climb_on_dude@yahoo.com

I'll recon the options before you all come up. Marco went up to Ghost and Spirit last weekend, which means that Sherman Pass is open to the second cattle crossing gate. Not sure if the Cherry gate is locked or not. As far as access goes to Dome Rock and The Needles, hearing that there is still a bunch of snow preventing access between Trail Of 100 Giants and 3 miles north of Ponderosa on 107.

Only NINE spots remain! Get your RSVP''s in!! Going out tomorrow to scout out the approach to Voodoo Dome at The Needles, lopers in hand (expecting new growth vegatation on the approach trail). I'll check out other options (Cherry Hill Rd to the Domelands and hopefully access to Dome Rock). Will keep all updated on road access to the The Needles, of course. In the meantime, here are some of the items slated to be won at the raffle.....a rafting trip, BD cam, Kuhl Spyfire Down Jacket, (2) signed 'The Needles: A Complete Guide' guidebook signed by Kris, framed shot of The Needles, bottles of Kern River Brewing 'Igor Unchained', limited edition 'Igor Unchained' KRBC t-shirts, Yeti Ramblers, lots of hats and other t-shirts! And....drum roll please....a Black Diamond 9.2 mm 80 meter rope!

Nice.
That cord will let you do Airy Interlude from the ledge to the top of Igor Unchained in one epic pitch. So, for whoever wins it, that's the way you have to break it in!
