Family time in SOYO. Nice looking kid, Bob!
Also way to stay married, Micro, and make those of us stuck in the lowlands jealous.
Ease up on the graphic details of the flying death squad, though, OK? Almost tossed my ceviche tostada...

Gulag huh? Great possible names... but I'm thinking Wizard of Owz (edit: as in owee or ouch) or something. You gotta get out there again... I know I know, you had some gig with a rib! Actually, your weekend TR sounds great! Except for the camera falling into a void!
Great time with you Tiki-Ger! Must do again soon!

Cameras are notorious for sprouting legs on me. "Curtis" will be forever missed....he now resides somewhere on the Minaret Traverse. "Leslie" found a new home on the Long Twisting Rib but I have recently learned "he" plans to move to Tyndall's East Face. Keep ya posted on the birthing of "Kappy" (a gorgeous slim line Lumix).

You know my spray has gotten me into trouble before. But nothing here to aid Snidely Whiplash into doing dastardly do-wrongs....

Made it up to Lost Eagle today for the first time. I've been swimming and fly fishing there several times but never bothered to walk up to the climbing area. Didn't have any topos or route info so just picked a few lines and started climbing. We did 3 routes on the steep super featured wall with lots of chickenheads in the 5.6-5.9 range. If anyone has any info that they would be willing to send my way I would appreciate knowing what we actually climbed.

Hey fishtrap.....hit me up as I have a topo.
We will be installing a permanent sign showing all routes there.
Pulling permits too for concession stands.
Nothing like doing 'Funnel Runnel' after a funnel cake ;)

Sorry Dave, what's almost as bad is that it seems nobody really cares????
Or hopefully they just prefer not to discuss it here. My last attempt at discussing this issue, I was just asked if I had a chip on my shoulder. Lame!

It's obvious you guys want to discuss it so instead of acting like drama queens come out and say it. Who's chipping this time? There is no need to chip routes in this area or any area. I agree it is a horrible thing but handle it like adults, and quit hinting at it.

With publicity comes drama, I agree with TJI if you know (not just think you know)who's chipping by all means either have the balls to call em out or shut up. I wonder if the shut eye locals are hoping the new guide book comes soon. The best way to f*#k up a bitchin area like shut eye is to invite all of the bay and LA to come and play. Robbins and company knew that decades ago, but too late for shut eye now. Not ruined just slowly losing some of it's remote feel. To those who feel the need the need to endlessly promote there favorite areas, enjoy your fleeting fame, maybe a few bucks and I hope you never learn of my favorite areas.

Or hopefully they just prefer not to discuss it here Tork, that was it. For one, "Discuss" on the taco? Hah!
Besides, what's to discuss? It's not whether or not chipping is wrong.
It's only, will the accused admit it or explain for everyone how it's not true?
As for calling wide attention to an accusation like this on a public forum, well, that sucks for several reasons. Usually, all the bad press ends up reflecting poorly on all the climbers and the climbing in the area. And the biggest concern is what possible folks could be listening and rightfully wondering how to impose climbing restrictions. But now, for those same reasons, let's hear it out in the open, so the record gets set straight.
Also, Donutnational, you make a great point, except that trad climbs should be preserved especially in an area known for growing bolts.
Edit: No offense to Dave (Planet Earth) whose reaction is totally understandable!
