I gotta look at the topos, Ricky. For once we were just walking up to stuff and saying, "I'll do that one!". Weird place, but very cool....(well, it was hot but cool in a cool sense, nawmean?")
The pine cone collector's dog reminded me of your dog, Bear....big, kinda friendly, but cool.

Funny how just a bit ago we were all praying for the snow to melt...
Plenty of sun and rock now baby!
Another new one.

Kev-
Thanks for taking us to those very cool spots. Had a great time and got a taste of Shuteye.
Happy to get the 2nd ascent of your new route, too. We got our AKA (haha) name down and ready to put up a little trip report if you want to send me the pic you took of us.

Mooch,
Until I am directed otherwise by those involved that topo is not public nor are the directions...

True statement (to a degree), my lightest of bier swizzler friend.
However, the Five Amigos have consented to letting this baby walk on its own. So, if one were to inquire by asking for a topo, one of the boyz would email out a topo....if the askee were to say "pretty please with buggers on it."
Just sayin' that Lost is "complete"....no need for more additions. Don't need a Riverside Quarry up in these parts!

mooch,
Nice. I prolly still wouldn't give it out even if directed to. Occasional tour guide is one thing, pimp is another. Hell the topo doesn't do any good without the directions anyhow. I even made a wrong turn the other day and I've been there a bunch :)
FYI: I found my way out to Cowboy Crag (aka Jackass Butte) the other day. It's not to far from another swimming hole and looks like there could be some slabby fun to be had there :)
You been out much this year?

Nope. Been away from the Eye most of the year doing a few things outside of climbing (cycling stuff mostly) . Prolly get out there Sept/Oct....we'll see. Been chatting with Brother Mucci. The Triple Threat is brewing plans for a wall trip! Dry ice wall cooler = Munge Gatoritas!! Anyway, Josh sent a few photos from 'Scarface' on Liberty. Sweet Lord!

haha!! Aren't you full of piss and vinegar (hmmm....good route name!) Mr. Nate. I'll have to find a dirty lichen chocked chimney and call it 'The Boogler Direct'.....hoping that it will check in a "5.6". What next?....Power To The People, 4th class "plus"?

It was a nice moderate route. I had fun on it. Although we did end up doing some major bushwacking on the way down because we went the wrong way.
Kev
My bad I keep missing your call dude. We're headed to Mt. Diablo tomorrow if you don't go up this weekend.

Being a terrible crack climber, what I would call 5.9 is 5.6 to Kev and Valley regulars. Clear? No sandbagging here.
JR,
You'll have to be more specific, or email me about the "routes" (complete and incomplete) on the left side of the Matterhorn and/or right end of the block Grahm calls the Bonus Wall. (Or is it now the Warming Wall?). EDIT: OR are you referring to routes on the far left of the Melting Wall, before you get to the Matterhorn proper?
Kev,
Get off the taco and just email me now... :)

Went out for a Dawn Patrol run up The Golden Toad (West Face) this weekend. Had to be back in Fresno by 10:30, so we were rolling by 4:00am. Met Kev and a ladyfriend (sorry, forgot your name!) at the cars on our way down. Fun to meet some more of the So Yo crowd.
Take a peek at our low budge film. I just bought Cedar Wright's solo album off of Vertical Carnival. Its good stuff for home-made ghetto films like mine.
Enjoy.
