Beautiful shot Dan and stunning perspective! Plus can't see a belayer, rope or gear...? Is that photo of you on the FA? This area of rock is what I most wanted to climb when we first visited.

Shoulda called it, "The Gaping Pharoah", based on that profile shot, Dan.
Looks like an Egyptian Pharoah with it's mouth open...

Very nice photos... that route Sue is on looks great too. I don't see a rope? Still hope to see a photo post of Fistful of Dog Hairs but cannot find ours.
We only have a bumm shot of climbing in the area. Is this Va Va Va Voom or a neighboring route... ?

Is Va Va Va Voom a reference to King Crimson?

Hah! 5.9 to you, mister! I did it with some doubt and freakiness making it over the lip of the roof... that was not this last summer but previous. I wasn't sure that we did VaVaVaVoom esp. after seeing Dan's shot which makes it look like a more blunt arete than my memory recalls from climbing there. Would have been nice to get photos from the same stunning vantage point instead of just another bumm shot. It was just John and I out there that day... Had a blast on that and somethings to the left, but there was some confusion about which direction to go, what bolts to follow in that area of climbs. Anyway, Beautiful up there! Wish we had gotten there this year.
You know what... I think that my photo is of Crack Attack not Va Va Va Voom!

Anyone out there have a topo for Crocodile rock that they would be willing to send my way? Climbed at Big Sleep today and then stopped by Crocodile Rock on the way back to the car. Ran up Crocodile Tears which is a beautiful crack but was wondering what all the steep bolted lines are to the right. Also wondering what the name of the formation is between Big Sleep and Crocodile?
Cheers,

Voodoo is the formation just right of Big Sleep.
Very cool you are climbing there this late, last season we climbed there on the weekend of Dec 4th.

Happy Holidays everyone!
Some pics from Christmas Eve out at Chilkoot Lake. We climbed some lines we hadn't been on before and put up a new "easy" 12a that turned out super good, on what else but the "Christmas Wall" :-) Didn't get any pics of that one yet though.

Instead of just topos - you could also post about the hordes of methheads in North Fork that attack any vehicle with Prana decals and especially target Subarus and Toyota FJ Cruisers!
Also, talk about how there is no beer or munchies for 45 miles either side of Shuteye - unless you count Jones Store - but they are closed more times than open. We'll keep Wagner's Store to ourselves okay.
If neither of those work in dissuading visitors, tell them that MADNET screens EVERY car that drives up Beasore for the presence of marijuana residue.
Otherwise, just drop a few Doug firs across the road.
