I can confirm that at 9ish two dudes were returning from a climb. I was puzzled but learned that yup it's the 4am boys!
Bluey, not my GF. I've returned to singledom!
Good to meet you two. When I get a chance I'll email you the pics.

Micro... nicely done. If any of you haven't seen it, you should. If I was a visual arts teacher I'd give you an A+ for something original. Very cool.
Here it is again so you don't have to flip back a page...

Kiddies-
gonna be out near the pools at LE this weekend. No climbing : ( Camping with my daughter and going out to do "extended hikes" (nahmeen? ; ). If the Grey Crew is in the neighborhood, swing by the camp Saturday evening. Pretty sure Tiki-ger will be in tow with his boys.
kev- if you come, I'll treat you to some REAL beer to clear up that nasty case of beeritis.

Dave,
I was going to be there but my ankle is kinda not happy with me (not to mention the elbow) - bummer. I may be taking some extended time off to hang out with the neighborhood ankle and elbow surgeons in the near future...

Mooch, Hi! Heading out today and bringing a friend who has never been to Gray and area. For sure, we'll be there at least Saturday, maybe Sunday too, but would like to get to High Eagle as well if it works out. Since LE is on the way, maybe the three of us could stop for a quick visit by the pools if not Sat. evening for beers then Sun. a.m. for coffee? Don't know though, this friend is pretty motivated to climb! Anyhow, would love to catch up and say hi w/y'all! Well, now you'll know where we'll be if you happen to checkout the old Gray hood! Wonderful that you'll be enjoying the area w/your daughter!!!
Kev - Hi... thought I heard you were heading up just to hang out. Sorry to hear you're ailing. Get better soon. :)

Dearest Susu....Finally!! Been almost a year since we saw each other. Not to sound selfish but I'm a little bummed I'm not climbing this weekend. And it would have been fun tying into the sharp end with ya! Anyway, its all good. Need to do some camping time with my 15 yr old before she goes back to school and catch up with ol Tiki-Ger. So, you'll be up in the gully, on the north side of Grey??
We'll probably be at the pools on Sat. afternoon and then off to "explore" the upper reaches of northern S-Eye later on. Beers fer shure when you come up Sat. evening!
Nater -
Wish you were coming! Let's try to get a rendevous going in mid to late Oct. I think Grahm is doing a slide show/"climb-a-thon" thing in mid Oct....interested. No guarantees from me on when in October to plan our get-together. As you know, we got "work" to do. :) It's time for our "baby" to walk on its own and off for us to raise another "youngin"....

Sorry to hear that brutha. :( I have a tendon in my right shoulder that is making it difficult to bench press/bench fly's or pull heavy from one side. If its any kind of motivation, Bill Sherman (dood who jacked his ankle and had to be rescued near the base of CRS) is doing Zodiac in 2 weeks. Fun times standing in etriers for hours at a time! susu and I will toast a beer in your absence.

So I heard from a ranger buddy that there was a pot farm in the woods that got taken down recently in the general vicinity of Queens Throne, off approach road that eventually goes up to High Eagle. Not near the crags, much before. Dude, wouldn't wanna run into those farmers while out on a hike. Anyone else hear about this?

Susu -
There's a possibility of heading out to dah Eye Sept 18/19th weekend with mucci. But there may be a trip out to Hoffman Mtn that same weekend with Munge and a few others. I haven't heard the confirmation date to that trip yet (not sure if it changed). We were obligated to go out there first but I ran into finance issues earlier this month (only to find out later on that we have fundage to support that trip....yippee!!). If we do go up to Shuteye, I've got something in mind that he (mucci) and I can work on....its NOT what you think Nate ;)
I also intend to make a 3 or 4 day trip up there in mid-to-late Oct. Did Grahm mention the Shuteye challenge gig (including a slideshow)? Not sure if you've seen him lately. Grahm? Details sir.

Slater,
I hadn't heard, but last year, near one of the creeks you cross on the way up, I noticed water that looked like it was being diverted. My first thought was to check it out. My instant second thought was, I see nothing. Also noticed an out of place car near there several times???

Add: Tx Bluey!
