I went up Prime Rib of Goat at Mazama, WA, the other day. 11 pitches, rated 5.9-, but it's a soft 5.9-. Highly recommended! Get an early start and finish in the shade.

I seem to remember no anchors on top of Sail Away in the 80's and having to down climb a 5.6

Gerri on the first ascent of Crooked Neck, Penstemon Dome, 5.8. She's above the "walk the plank tree" as Dwight calls it. You don't actually walk the plank.

^^^ Nice shot of Eric on 'Color Me Gone'. Hey Ed, how's Eric's ankle? Wasn't sure if he was able to get back out on the sharp end.

Love all of your routes Stephen.....well, most of 'em that don't put stains in the trousers! ;)

Thanks Mooch. Yeah, what was I thinking about run-outs on some of my routes? But I think Crooked Neck is most likely fine. Somebody even added a bolt to it. And following up on Ed, the Left Side of Ivory Tower was an ok place to practice placing my first really large piece of pro, a Merlin 8. I have now placed it once.

Eric watches what's goin' on in the climbing world,
and we're still very actively completing the YFC (just over at his place yesterday going over pages)

but I'm not gonna post anything that would require him to explain himself...
...Eric in a very obscure place in Yosemite Valley, November 2017, please note that that is his clipboard for note taking for YFC in the right background.

We were just out taking notes, ya, that's the ticket...
