Sue, we did the first 2 pitches, kinda a low energy day. Both were great! The last move on P2, in your face, took me a while. I kept trying to find a way to reach those good holds at the end, 2" to short, without stepping up. All I can say is that wall is stacked with gems.

Nice Jeff! Amazing how clean and good the second pitch in particular is...
You would probably like the 3rd and 4th too. Esp. the 4th.

Hey Grahm! Lots going on. 50 5.7s sounds fun, still a few there I haven't done. Would also like to bump into Albert and crew. And the shades of Gray is allways calling. Gotta finish John and Sue's route Eschers Way. Of course I also have my eye on a few things out there.
Put anything new up?

Alright! We might just get upto High Eagle and 50-5.7s finally!
Grahm, I'll bet Kev's on the road already. I heard he was going up to meet Matt and you...
John and I and a few friends including hopefully Jeff... hope to mix it up. Go to Gray... but also check out higher ground. Hopefully our Toyota makes it to the High Eagle area and other places... Maybe we'll all cross paths at some point!
P.S. Tork - looking forward to seeing you on Escher's! :)

Thanks Susan, I will see you and John out there for sure! 50 5.7s has the 2 best 10+ sport routes have done anywhere. Also a few other fun routes and a few newish routes that Grahm put up that I have yet to do.
Tom, where's something new? You heading up for the weekend?
Grahm, where and what are your latest new routes? You have a topo for
50 5.7s

I'll bring what I have up with me. For 50 5.7's its just a list of all the routes with a description. I haven't drawn in the routes on the photos yet. Hope to see ya all on Saturday for High Eagle / 50 5.7's double crag day.
In other news Jeremy Ross from North Fork broke his ankle playing softball. His climbing season has been cut short but send him some positive vibes for a quick recovery. If you haven't met him he is a really cool local with a chill vibe and life long love of the area.
Jeremy and his brother Justin have been getting back in to shape with me out at Crocodile the last few weeks. I have been filling in the last few lines left I wanted to do. Heading up today to hopefully send the latest one. Theres almost 20 routes out there now. How about you guys any new classics finished?

Home in Fresno by 2:00am.
As long as you were climbing in the night, a shame you were in such a hurry. Was a beautiful lunar eclipse starting about 3:30 AM.
Otherwise Well Done!

Only 3 cars at High Eagle camp overnight on Saturday. Last year there were 20 cars (mostly due to the Toyota commercial shoot) Seems Shuteye is more sleepy this year.
Jeff and I went over to 50 5.7's where he onsighted some of my new routes and I got to try Cruising Blackstone one of the best 10d face climbs I have ever sampled.
Heres an FA pic from Monday of - Poacher 11b

Urmas, Cruising Blackstone and the other 10 to the left are two of the best sport routes I have done anywhere. Thanks!

Hey Urmas,
I did look at the extension. Looks like maybe 3 more bolts up an overhanging knob covered finish. Doesn't look like it will change the grade of the climb. Its going to make an already amazing climb that much more unbelievable. I'll get to it someday.
Poacher is out at Crocodile. Just fa'd a new one there yesterday. "Don't Take It For Granite" 11c/d. Pulls a roof using a heel toe lock in a water runnel. Then climbs up a deep featured water groove. Maybe we can get some pics of it this weekend.
You heading up to Shuteye this summer?

I've been busy, but will have more time starting this week. I'm concerned that temps will be climbing by weeks end. If it's not too hot, maybe I can get over for a few days.
