Castle Rock is not looking too good.



Here is another shot of Eldo showing Redgarden Wall, looks a bit squashed, cool though!

When someone decides to actually take a decent shot of Alaskan areas I'll celebrate!

^^^agreed!

Seems like the data up there is always a bit rough...even a better DEM(digital elevation model) would be nice

some higher res stuff here if you're into GIS...though a bit limited...

Was bouldering here this week:




edit: no doubt Kevin....crazy how close they are to that cliff band...

double edit: you think more folks would be interested in this stuff...I was scoping towers in Sedona, drooling over boulders in Woodson and checking out a little bouldering area in Odgen...all from my desk...in incredible detail...I guess bitching about trolls is more fun...

not surprisingly, the areas with best weather, low humidity tend to give better results.

the sellajoch angles don't even show S1 and 2, although you can see the shadows.

probably too much cloud.

Some nice roadside cracks (not oft-frequented, strangely) in Billings on the way to the airport past the Rimrocks


edit: click ZOOM for best view with still decent resolution...
