Rincon, there is a fun 5.10a on the left side of that face (Dreamscape).
If you wander the base left, all the way down, you'll find some of the best 5.8s on the planet.

Nate I'll take one of them abstract expressionist topos! As long as it can fit in my truck, cause we know sometimes they can get a little large in scale.

Ah, the right variation of pitch 2 of Momma's 'Lil Fledgling.
Thanks for the assistance Banquo.
Here's a cruddy pic of Tiki & Mooch on the FA.
Nice one, Gene. I always figured Duchamp was a climber. 'Course that is a descent route.

Looking at Mark Spencer's book, "Buzzard Book" and "Onyx" look pretty sweet. Or "Easy Wind" with the sweet chimney in the beginning. Has anyone every climbed these routes before? I've been hearing a lot about "Whiskey Bill" even though it's not in the book. Anyone done this one?

There are several fun routes at Fres Dome. The South Pillar route would be my choice. Easy Wind, Mule Train and Wiskey Bill are all good routes. Wear a helmet, rocks often get thrown from the top.

...and I have been there three times in the last 5 weeks.
Shame on you Guyzo!! Especially after I put out the invite so we could climb and give you the grand tour. I'm hurt....butt hurt even! ;)
Seriously, it would be great to see you out there. We'll be in the "neighborhood" in late Sept. Email me so we can show you what the 'north end' is like....
Of course, we need to drag Kris, Babs and Larry to show them what they have been missing out on.

Everyone,
Please email me any info you have on the book of revelation - looking to see what's been done. Also I have a few other questions about that area but would prefer not to put specifics on the web so if you know it well (the balls not just the BoR) pm or email me.
thanks!

Kev,
Cragnshag and I put up three routes on the corners and face to the right of Lone Pine Crack. They all lead to the same set of anchors, We called them:
Big Corner, 5.7
Mini Corner, 5.7
Easy Streaks, 5.6 (some bolts)
We also did a route to the right of Dave's Breakfast, I don't recall if we named it 5.7
We also climbed the middle of the south face of the crag just above and behind BoR, I don't think we named it 5.9
We climbed the main face of the crag to the east of BoR but I don't remember much about it.
We climbed Lone Pine Crack with a direct 5.8 finish up the head wall.
Cragnshag has topos, he might have given them to you. He is camping out with the family this week so you will have to wait to hear from him.
Really nice rock at BoR. Lots of moderate terrain. Best approach is from the southeast but expect some brush. The gully approach from the Jackass Lakes Trail is doable but also a bit brushy. Look for a small cairn along the trail and follow the gully up.

Banquo,
Thanks! I called cragnshag and figured he was out since it went straight to voicemail - now I know he was out. I guess I'll be working on the right side then. The gully isn't to bad but does need a little work in a few spots - I was up there a few days back...
