I'm feeling an overwhelming urge to play hooky tomorrow and do something on the Black Wall (could it be the 100 degree temps?). Anybody interested?

Tarbuster, 5.10+ is the easiest route. I was thinking about doing either Road Warrior (5.10+; I was going to do this with Rhodo-Router a few weeks ago but we ended up doing Cannonball Corner instead), Coffee Achievers (5.10d) or Espresso (5.11a). I could be talked into Roofer Madness (5.11b) as well.

Looks like there is some badass pebble rasslin' going down in that area. Anyone been out there with some big foam?

Finally got around to this. Here's a topo of Road Warrior Butress - which has some of the best climbs on the Black Wall. The basis for this topo is Ken Trout's 1989 or 1990 article.

Last Sunday on Cary Granite - Tom Dickey following the crux pitch. Photo courtesy of Taco Bill. The flake at the crux is just as sharp as can be.

So was that some of you hard guys I saw about 6:30 Monday morning, camped at Summit Lake?
Planning on climbing "Good Evans and a new route"?
I was the duffer hiking past for an early-morning jaunt up Mt Spalding.

That wasn't me or mine, Chiloe.
Edit - I wonder what the new route was?

I've been driving Lisa up to Echo Lake for the past 4 Thursdays: she runs the 12 miles to Evan's summit where I pick her up.
To bide my time on one of these, I did a quick scramble down to Bierstadt's East Ridge, over the Sawtooth and on up to Evans.
Maybe one more of those before she run's Pikes Ascent race. So I'd like to peruse the Evan's boulders. Anyone know how to find 'em? I hear there are 3 distinct areas.

As awesome as it is to climb the Diamond (I actually did the Obelisk the weekend before), the Black Wall gives you a similar experience with a much higher ratio of climbing to hiking. Too bad there are not nearly as many routes on the Black Wall.

Nice photos, that looks like a fine place to be climbing. Maybe some day I'll get out there.

Nice guys!!
I actually had plans to do a new route out there a week or so ago..but then my carpal tunnel kicked up and I had to bail.
Surgery in August...so it looks like I'll have to wait until next summer. Hopefully one of you doesn't get to it first!!!

um, eh, maybe you could let us know which line it is you were eying so, ya'know, we know which one not to fire off?
(eeyonkee style edit):
Ok, Ok, I was kidding, really... I'd be lucky to take some photos of them sheep when in the area.
Heal up Josh.

Good luck with that surgery, flamer. We should do a route together there next year.

Heal fast, Josh. Jeff B. mentioned you were having altitude-induced carpal trouble.
I've been poking around a lot near home, not getting out of town much. Nothing as cool as the Black Wall though.
