Anyone have a link to or know where I can find a topo for Resurrection?
Any beta or source for said beta would be swell as well. I don't need pitch by pitch gear lists, descriptions of individual moves and lichen samples, but it would be nice to know if some pitches are going to be wet this time of year, bird closures, can you bail from wherever and am I gunna die etc...
A topo would be fantastic, even a crude one.

Chad,
It's not closed for bird nesting (but Wapama Rock is).
But the trail (past Wapama Falls to Hetch Hetchy Dome) is officially closed due to the recent rockfall.
I think this just means it's loose crossing that area, but if there is a ranger around they might send you back.
There's a rap route in place, so you can bail from pretty much anywhere.
It will probably be fairly hot there, due to reflection off the reservoir.
The route roughly follows the old South Face route.
I described where it differs in a post a few years ago:

I didn't know supertopo had PM's. How do you check those? I thought you could only contact via email and I didn't receive any emails.

My partner (Jim) put in a few attempts over the last several years on "Resurrection" and eventually figured out enough beta from emails with the F.A. guys (Sean and Brian). They were super helpful, but didn't have much of a topo, beyond some markups of the old aid line.
Fortunately, once you figure out the first 10 pitches (to the huge terrace) it is easy to follow the route. That said, logistics of hauling gear if you're going to bivy, carrying a lot of water, and the sunny aspect of the route makes it a challenge. Getting the right weather for long days, without baking in the heat is part of the luck needed.
We got lucky towards on Oct 20-22 with some very warm weather and snagged a repeat of this amazing route.
We spoke with Brian Ketron and he gave us full support to post a complete topo. This is my first topo, and maybe too detailed, but we feel it's pretty accurate. I'll post it in some key forums and hopefully more people will go experience this amazing valley.
you do need to pick up a wilderness permit, and get the timing right for entering/leaving the Hetchy area.
Props to Sean Jones and Brian Ketron for this addition to the climbing community.

I'm glad to see people are still having good adventures at Hetch Hetchy!
I climbed the first several pitches of that route a few times, back in 2004-2005.
The logistics are tough with the heat most of the year, gated hours and no legal camping nearby.
