The most stunning thing about woodfords is the amount of great rock 15min away.

Finally made it to check out this "hidden gem"! No wonder we didn't see anyone out there both days we were there! Total choss pile in a desert-like wasteland! Had to bushwack through manzanita the whole time, and carry a big stick to fight off all the rattlers! I would not recommend going here...EVER! I have pics to prove it!

HA! I guess you missed the spirit of my post for sure! The place was awesome, and I was trying to get an ignored area some attention. Thanks for the warm welcome! Back to Pipeworks I go!

I difficult to even justify replying to an obvious troll, but we did watch you dog the roof o ootd for about an hour... maybe you should stay at the leap, espescially if you can't even follow an obvioius trail. Adveture climbing isn't for pussies. I heard Pipeworks is fun.
Yeah, I think their was some heavy sarcasm in that TR... Bad day Chim?
edit: I'd probably dog the roof too, should I go back to Rocksport?
edit:edit: can't wait to sample the south side.

The beta for that roof is to pull up and over on .10a jams.
Had a real nice time at Woodfords a couple weeks ago, everything we did was quality... except for that NV/UT border, that thing is a lame chossy sandbag.

Hi Ron,
I did the Hillside Strangler, that thing is absolutely top quality, loved it. Looked at some of those other things you mentioned, as well as some other things not in the old topo that have clearly been climbed, but day was winding down and they were in direct hot sun. Next time!
I did not love UT/NV, despite the ha ha rating. For a 50 foot climb, it has like 8 feet of good climbing, and 40 feet of downright lousy climbing. Rotten flake, shrub, 3rd class ramp strewn with loose rocks.

Well, I'm glad my shitty post kept the Woodfords thread on the front page most of the day! I wasn't trying to be a dick Chim-Chim, I'm just good at it! Thanks for all the work you've done out at this great area. Say hi next time you see my dogging! ;)
That was a good one by Dan-O! Got us for sure! LOL!

Looking for a Tahoe area partner for tomorrow, Saturday. Doesn't have to be Woodfords, can do any area around Tahoe. Would be down for something adventurous, like Sector 20. Also interested in stuff on Flagpole if anyone wants to show me around. PM or reply here.

We're doing Twin Crags tomorrow as a mellow hangover thing if you want to step your expectations down about 5 notches. Bring some Pibbers.
bwahahahahaha... we're also only 15 to 20 minutes form Donner...
Then Chris and I could climb Kindergarden Crack while you belay Marissa up Panic in Detroit ;)

I have not read this whole thread so I appologize for the questions, but what kind of rock is the Woodfords? I saw a picture posted by Seth K. and it kind of looked like sandstone. How big is it? Is it mostly trad(my preference if I were to travel there)? Do you need a tour or can you figure it out with a guide book? It sure looks cool though and when I someday get the time and money to travel to cali again I would love to hit up some of these places that are off the beaten path a little.

What would a $25 contribution get me?
I hate to be stingy, but times are tight and I have another kid on the way.
Do you have a beat up copy?

How do I do that?
If you e-mail me through supertopo, that's my real account.
I can pay via snail mail, or online if you have a way.
I've been wanting to climb there for years. It's right along one of my commute routes.
