Glad to hear it's healing. I'm in the midst of classes now, gearing up to fix my other house and get it on the market, and generally booked up pretty solid. Climbing is sporadic, at best. Let me know when you plan to head out, and if I can make it I will. No promises.

Great job on all the new routes on the big stuff in the Sierra's Vitaly. Your routes make our little crags look anemic, but somebody has to do them.
Ok Tad will let you know. As far as Oct. goes-if one or more of you guys can organize all interested parties for a trip that would be very good. I've tried a few times with varying schedules making turnout little to non existent. I'm free pretty much any of the time on pretty short notice so I could work with whatever dates are chosen.

What a cool thread - I just love the way this whole thing has played out - with the hook-ups, the stoke, the shut-downs-turned-awesome, the strange and the unknown.
Keep it coming.

from the armstrong pass thread
We hit this up recently, but only the dirty corner on far left and stuff on the back. called it the buddha cause it looks a bit like a sitting buddha (and fortress was already taken)
Lots of cracks going up the center to the top. The rock quality down low on the front and lookers right side is good. Towards the back it fell apart when you looked at it. Not sure how it would be high center but i suspect good. You would probably need a some webbing and a biner or two to rappel off the back but we didn't investigate that too closely.
As I mentioned in that thread, it's a bit of a hike in (5 miles, 2,200' elevation gain) but there is still a rope and set of nuts up there if anyone wants to get after it. let me know and if i'm not going i'll pm you the whereabouts of the gear.

Yeppers. I can make either of those dates. Might even accidentally convince the family to go. Still got enough gear after the purge to make a run at it. Will bring some elk burger.

I'm in, but please let me know soon if it is the earlier date because I wasn't going to come down till about oct 10th. No problem with the 3rd-4th, I just need to know.

Putting it on the calendar. I suspect a wooden picnic table might not last terribly long in the Nevada outback. Things have a way of becoming unfortunate targets out there.

What a great thread. Love seeing you dudes getting on new rock and new routes in the wild and wholly. Great lines for having to hunt and peck at it. The only part that sucks, and it sucks big, is when you are talking to Ron Anderson, and as all of his posts and pics got whacked (deleted), we are left wondering WTF!!!!????
Anyway, good to see some here still get on the raw stuff and get it done. Nevada climbers rule.

Hey Guys,
We just may make it - trying to move some things around. To my knowledge the Aretes on the following photo have not been climbed and I've been thinking about it since the spring!
Should be fun!

Thanks for putting this together Tad. Should be fun; tall tales and idle banter around the campfire at night and new routes as far as the eye can see during the day. By the way, Bob and I did a route up the prominent corner and crack system of the crag in the picture you just posted.
Ney, those aretes look cool as does the crack system on the sidewall.
Hey Frumy-is that crag in Idaho?
