Hey Bob,
Nice TR. Looks like you've been busy this summer too. See you at the sand lot this fall.

The more photos I see, the better the climbing. And future possibilities.
Wish I'd been there too.

I typed a full trip report yesterday morning & as I posted it, my server crashed. I lost an hours worth of typing & editing. Shoot, I hate it when that happens.
I will re-post after this weekend, I'm off to the Needles to do some crankin'!

Geez that was fun. Photo looking back at north summit after Bob & I did the second route. The ugly red blotch is where to find the rap anchors.

I'm glad this great post got bumped, but I still remain insanely jealous.
What an awesome spot.

Hey Del,
Will and Bill rapped their route using pins and nuts (I think their buddy David had a bum knee?). Probably easier to walk off if your knees are up to it.
One rap off the top to the notch, then some 3rd/4th class. The rest is a pleasant hike. As you know.

I wrote this trip up for the AAJ and to my surprise, they have printed it along with a small photo. Should be on shelves any day now. I haven't got my free copy yet but I have a PDF of pages 90 - 109 "Contiguous United States."
http://aaj.americanalpineclub.org/2010/07/
Although the AAJ now has a policy of not publishing reports for climbs unless they are at least grade IV, they seem to have liked this trip enough to overlook that. (Maybe they added up the 4 routes that our party did making it something like grade XI). Not many IV's going up so California only rates a little over 5 pages.
I had to compress this into 400 words but still managed to get 4 route descriptions and the names of all 8 FA climbers in.

Thanks for the info guys. Just got back from climbing the NE face in two pitches of simul-climbing. Just a super fun route. The rock quality is amazing. Unlike you guys my fiancee and I took the hard way in by foot. All in all that hike is pretty mellow over it's 14 miles. Only one other person in the summit register since you guys left it there and they came over from the saddle side. So looks like we got the second ascent. Wish we had time for those other lines but it will be there and so will that headwall.
PS: Thanks for the rap station.
