Looks like Red Eagle to me. Thank god you guys are doing the wide. I don't want to have to! hehe
Sleeping Giant is a GREAT name, good work guys and gals! That last one of Tork has me stumped though...

Nice shots susu! Sadly, I'd have to "mooch" gear to give the Sleeping Giant a go (own nothing bigger than a 3.5).

Tx guys! Yes... that's the goddess of war & wisdom formation. Mooch, sorry to hear you won't be making it to Shuteye this weekend. Maybe we'll get to meet up w/you and the mrs. in October though... If you ever would like to borrow said gear to check this out, or Pink Balloon, CageMatch... we would be happy to provide... and prolly join ya! Bought a Valley Giant just for the occasion... for when John & Jeff teamed up and first climbed the Sleeping Giant. Actually, that's Jeff's big bro John's using in the top photo. Gear to 9" is recommended... No fixed pro or bolts on the giant.
Edit: It takes gear to 8", not 9".

Grab your partner(s) and come meet us out there, Jay! It's not a crazed raging drunkfest w/guns shooting off... If anything, it's almost too quiet these days! :)

BWHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
Those were the days...
Great shots everyone! I Have not had a standard climbing year, which would include a summer in the soyo. Sad indeed, but the crew is puttin up gems.
When is this gig Graham? I wouldn't mind hanging with the group.
Cheers!

Your talking about some of the hunters that are running around SoYo right?
Mucci, its the weekend of October 16th. Hope u can make it.
Nate, yup thats definitely a different kinda wide. ;-) It involves face climbing the sides and NO Big Bros, just a sprinkling of sport bolts.

So truth be told, Jaybro - Shuteye's got it all! Kind of like going up Sonora Pass in that respect...

Hey, I think "Runnel Vision" is on my list of potential route names, Tork. Great minds think alike, hehe.
Though I'll eventually be needing them, I might be willing to loan out my used Big Bros for any wide FA follies... or fending off the local mountain lions.
