Marty Lewis tells me the 2nd edition of the Ellery Guide is now available at the Maximus Press site:
http://maximuspress.com/shop/products.php?cat=7
It's on consignment there.
A complete climbing guide to Lee Vining Canyon is a mammoth project, but at least this new guide is a step in that direction. So much stuff though that no one knows much about next to and around the Third Pillar area. Must be some projects up there too that people don't want anyone to know about.

Some people at the front desk at Planet Granite Belmont said they climbed some routes at Elephant Rock/Bighorn Crag. I think Justine Formoso was one of those involved. Just stopped there and did them a few years ago.
Think it's Cal Trans that calls it Elephant Rock.
Time to go over the hill and take a peek!

Ram It and Big and Horny are perfect introductions to the Bighorn Crag. Take Urmas up on his offer Dr. Morris

Here's another new discovery in LV canyon, called it Jiffy Pop crag. Quick approach, fun easy routes on very featured rock.
Update from my 2016 post... Two routes were done ground-up during summer 2018. Really bizarre and enormous granite pockets.
And another new crag nearby, currently only TR'd.
