Ney, Think I've been to one of the paces you flew over.....Saw it on a bike ride in '90, came back 10 days later with a box of bolts. Lesson is, always touch the rock before you convince yourself that you discovered the next City of Rocks.....Climbed one pitch, left a back-off piece and never returned.
Last week, solid virgin rock up to 4 pitches in height:
In '85, I told the Kid about the amount of rock in NV, he asked if I wasn't too worried about keeping it a secret, would I tell him more. I laughed more than any of us could climb in a lifetime.
Good way to find Rock:

He bangs iron I hope you don not totally disapprove? They are opening routes the way they want to! The way it was the way it is and the way it will be! I hope to get out there and go ground up with my 23 pounds of gear if you want, you should grab at the chance too.
Now,!
on to

Ho
Of course you have
you mofo !;)
Good to know that you still have an eye for this it has me fully sucked in too!
The quality will come after the routes see some more climbing traffic.
Tell tales of the Pamegat here the zone is reawakend you know, I wish that you could see it five to fifteen parties out there in your shire!
Peace Leeds.
Bontique far from there and then again may be not that far.
huh.
If rgold spells it bonticou, and I am addressing the holder of the doctorate that was gained by the knowledge of its formation I had better spell it that way too.

Sorry to sounds so dickish!
It is now too hot here in small rock hell !
and I post at the peril of being as big an azz as ekat thinks I am.
oh well
I'm not the lizard I used to be.
Take a bit of time some time and look back at this amazing saga it has the roller coaster feel to it. And has descended in and risen to lows and highs of the taco ,
JRig I've been wondering about that, good on you, this, your labour of love is fully appreciated!

Ha! I'd die of old age before I made it up a complete aid pitch at this point. I've gone waaay overboard on ebay. I figure this way I can afford to forget a piece now and then as I thrash my way up the choss.
Some day I'd like to go after a wall. Clean.
Meanwhile, now and then, I practice things that will either get me into... or out of... serious trouble. There are other strange and precarious ideas stuck in my head. Rapping into canyons with gold pans, then getting back out. Finding caves nobody's ever seen. Communicating with my children through the teenage years...
But, I'm realistic. Haven't found a cave, and wouldn't disclose it if I did. The amount of gold I've found so far wouldn't fill a thimble, although I thoroughly enjoy the prospect(ing). Exploring new rock and putting up easy-to-moderate routes, with the odd bolt or fixed pin as appropriate.
Anyway, here's my latest aid practice, at a bouldering area. I don't think this thing goes twelve feet; but I tied a couple slings into ladders and slogged my way up with nuts and cams. Blew a #1 fcu and the 5mm prusik caught me. Coulda got a headache there from a whopping 8ft up.
And one of my someday-project areas, conducive to panning. Prob'ly shuck a few pins down there somewhere getting out.
Honestly though, the wife would prefer me to give up this climbing thing and build her a compost bin, some shelves, a den, and remodel the kitchen.

Dang, I want to go back out to ER or to check out some other areas but it is now getting so hot out there. Could climb at night and sleep during the day but much easier said than done.

Yo Jonny. Exciting to see all that gear. I'm getting seriously low on the pins I bought from you-we've left lots of them fixed on our mutual new routing ventures( sixteen new routes with you and Bob over the last fall to spring season) out in the NV void. Perhaps I could buy more to justify your ebay shopping fetish. Just a thought. Another thought is to bring Yvonne along next year and we can all trade off baby sitting duty so Brenda and all can get in some climbing.
Why no new routes to report from you all over the last two weeks? EDIT: Not meaning you JRig, was asking Bob, Laine and crew, and to a lesser extent Ney.
Ney, concentrate on the west faces early am to noon, then switch over to the north facing aspects for pm. If you do this it should be tolerable even on a 90 degree day down below in the valley.

Well, Rdog, if you're not doing anything in a month or so, maybe you'd like to ride up there and put up a few lines with me? Pretty much guarantee they'd be less than a full pitch. Can't seem to get out of the f-ng house to go climbing these days, so I figure in a month or so it might be possible to take a half day near home to see if I still remember how to place a nut.
Or, you know, if someone else wants to go...

Sounds good Tad. How about a mid September weekend camp/climb trip? How many of you regulars are up for that?

Unfortunately we are out most of September (and all next week) on vacation trips so we'll miss that. We do expect to get out there this fall sometime. Some cool weather climbing sounds wonderful out there.

I have a wedding to go to mid-september. I'll have to check dates; but no guarantee I can make it up to climb anyhow.
How's the hand Rick?

Looks like Bob and I might have the place to ourselves again.
How's the hand? Coming back slowly. Right leaning cracks like Park Lane where you are primarily jamming with the left hand and augmenting with face holds with the right would be just the ticket.
Of course repeats lack the thrill of discovery, but i'm sure in those tens of square miles there are new routes perfect to write our names on.
