Last Friday / Saturday's storm was much warmer and melted off all that snow and ice. Moved the snow line up to 6,500ft on the east side of the ridge. Higher on the west side. All the south facing crags are in great shape. Sunday / Monday, Leo and I hit Fallen Eagle's SE face and put up two new 400 foot routes and climbed some old ones. It was t shirt weather in the sun but when the shade rolled around we threw every layer on.

This weekend looks like a colder storm and then another one comes through around Thanksgiving.

NOAA forecast for Shuteye:

Thursday Night: A slight chance of rain showers between 10pm and 4am, then snow showers likely, possibly mixed with rain. Snow level 7400 feet. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 33. West northwest wind between 6 and 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Friday: Snow showers. High near 36. Calm wind becoming west between 7 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Friday Night: Snow showers likely. Cloudy, with a low around 20. West northwest wind between 9 and 14 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Saturday: A 20 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34.

Saturday Night: A 30 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 22. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Sunday: A slight chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 32.

Some pics from Fallen E...

Not to be the wet rag Nater but your neck of the woods is looking a bit nippy and has precip in the forecast, from the Pinnacles to the western Sierra. Its supposed to rain down here too. Still trying to mold plans for T-Giving weekend. And 'Join-The-Mass-Exodus Tree' will NOT be a option. The high country looks like it'll finally get its "Locked in for winter" snow coverage. Soooooo.....Shuteye is a shut down IMO, at least until next year. Snow mobile is on cement blocks at the time.

Hmmm....Red Rocks, with T-Giving buffet lines nearby.

Screw the tree - it will be a zoo.

I'm thinking maybe eastside or indian wells canyon, or red rocks or?

Wish I wasn't busy with work or I'd take the whole week and head to cochise.

Can you guys bump a bunch of climbing threads and get the crap off the front pagte of the site? I did my duty yesterday...

We freed Amen earlier this year when the snow was late leaving,
and on Memorial Day Dan and I did something possibly new
we called Hallelujah and ends up finishing on Amen.
Some shots:

Add: Also, another fun route we did is on the left a ways... Forget the rating... maybe 8, and another that we don't think was done before, a 5.7.

Add again: just remembered we also did something on the far right w/Mucci that was a quick blast, all crack and slab.

Then there are a few other old classics on the left face, spare on bolts.

Thanks Kev! What are you up to the next couple weekends? Tx too Tom and Nate.

Yup, Leo's been tromping around SoYo for decades. Climbing is relatively knew to him but he sure knows the area well. One of the best all around outdoors man I know. Search and rescue is lucky to have him. He probably has touched more walls than anyone, the only problem is getting him to remember! ;-)

Great pics, good to know you guys got the ball rolling out there around Amen and freed it already. We were heading that direction next. Our stuff is on the far left side. Awesome wall in a very cool setting.
