Man, you've never heard of Tijuana Tap Water?? IPA is for old fat dudes who wear plaid and eat Dinty Moore stew while tuning into The Ross Perot Chronicles.

Hey Randy.....would love to see you up there this year. Gonna try to drag Solem and crew up there as well. Hoping to put together 'Salsafest', with the help of a few 559ers and maybe a few gringos. See the 'Salsafest 2009' thread.

Hey Guys,
i'm really enjoying this thread and hope that we can make the Salsafest happen. 1. i'd like to say that i'm actually in favor of the kick ass stove. If i'm up when grahm breaks it out i'm freakin jumping in!! Plus you could use a bilge pump and take the water out of the pool and put it in the bushes so that anything that came off the stove would be in the soil, probably nothing more than a bit of dust and whatever is on the outside of an iron stove (iron???). 2. The SSCA calendar of events has been announced. Notice there are two dates with SoYo as the venue. Might I reccomend the salsafest occur on the same days as the balls event when i am likely to be in the area...August 8-9 lets make it happen!!!!
Hello Friends,
Please mark your calendars for the following SSCA events:
March 21-22 Alabama Hills Eric McGee/Mickey Dunagan
May 23-25 Bart Dome Eric McGee
June 20-21 Needles Event Entire Board
July 18-19 Shut Eye Ridge/Lost Eagle Jerry Jessurn
Aug 8-9 The Balls Matt Schutz
Sept 12-13 Shaver Lake Area Eric McGee
Oct 3-4 Tollhouse Face Off Eric McGee
Nov 7-8 End of season planning meeting Location TBA Jim Schrodt
If you have suggestions for service projects or comments please let me know.

I think the SSCA is like the California version of the German SS.
Actually, its the Southern Sierra Climber's Assosciation.

Hey Matt, Good to hear your out there! Might make one of those SSCA events this year. Shuteye sounds like the one. When we did the Tollhouse cleanup that one year we made friends with the Fresno Four wheelers, who took all those bags of trash we collected. They offered to help shuttle folks up the road to shuteye there....ever hear from them??
We were watching your back buddy..........

Note on Sahib:
In Feb 13 post (have not been looking at Supertopo in a while), Clint tries to indicate where Sahib goes in the picture of various routes on Chiquito Dome, and seems to agree with the big blue dots in the photo, as opposed to the route going way right. I think the blue dots are about right too, but it's very hard to tell from the straight up photo.
Here's a picture which might help. It's from my website, taken from taken from the AAJ '84 by permission:
http://www.tomhiggins.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6&Itemid=20&limit=1&limitstart=4
It's not a great pic, but I seem to recall the picture was taken while I was drilling at or near the belay station at the end of the first pitch. That place is atop a faint "buttress" not particularly visible in the supertopo pic. But notice I am right of what looks like a kind of long eyebrow of rock. If one looks at the blue dot photo (with lots of other routes dotted too), one sees what looks like the very same eyebrow of rock, so I'm pretty sure the route goes back above that eyebrow as per the big blue dots.
Of course, the line of old bolts will tell the tale. And of course, I'm fine with them being replaced. Happy trails finding the old line!

Tom,
There is a higher resolution version of the AAJ photo in the online AAJ. I matched up features on the rock in the old photo to a new photo, so I think the location problem is solved.
Here are the photos from my post on the thread of February 11, 3:47pm. The purple circles indicate the position of the climber in the other photo.
