guyman, definitely NOT free solo. Its just around the corner from the slightly less obscure Miscalculation. Three bolt route.

Jaybro, yep, that photo is in the old Sonora Pass book (in black and white). Scuffy, yes, at least a significant part of it is still there. Gonzo, damn, I was sure I had it.

> Clint, that's Gray Bullet.
Correct! Thanks for posting up your photo above.
> Dry hollow hummock at the start out of frame (in the shade under that tree). I bailed because didn't want to commit to that.
Yes, that hummock move was scary!
I have seen stuff like that blow off before, but for some reason I did it anyway.

Bump...
Ok, whose turn is it to post another pic???
One at a time here please, I got rather confused for a bit when everyone started posting random pics.
Clint- never even saw that one in the book. Had me totally stumped. What's up with the top out there? Is that big slab above totally blank and too steep for continueing something up through it. Looks intreaguing. I've been wanting to explore that area a bit for a while now.

illusiondweller,
I don't remember Big Moe being that steep?
The photo is suggestive of an arete, which makes it a tough one to i.d.!
Chad,
Coiler did a route in the big corner just left of the Grey Bullet,
but it doesn't go above the roof.
Eric might have something that goes higher - he and his friends have put up a *lot* of new pitches at Reeds in the past few years.

Assuming you're correct on Geek Tower, we still have 5 big stumpers.
Kevin, I took another walk out to Scab Laborer the other day, climbed
about 1/3 of it.
1 hr 27 min car to climb, 35 min climb to car.

I say go for it, while Scuffy fleshes his list for us again. But that's just me....

Mucci is correct:
"HEXENTRIC, column of the giants, Sonora Pass."
One of the most unique routes I've ever done.

Yeah, Kevin, but just the bottom.
I wanted to see what size gear to bring.

I think this one is Half Dome, Regular NW Face, maybe at the p11 bivy ledge.
Let us know!
