Amazing how fast knowledge can be lost. I'm thinking rodent proofing something, or maybe storing food so the sheep don't get it. Wouldn't work on giraffes of course, so we can assume they weren't herding giraffes.

Other side of the valley. Took me several tries to find it using Voltaire Canyon road plus bushwhack. Now that I know where it is on the map it looks like Kings Canyon road gets you much closer and same elevation. i was surprised at how good the rock is.

It was definitely worth it even with the multiple tries just to get it out of my head. I think it would also be worth it just to climb now that i know the way. Also, it's pretty tall so you could have some fun with a rope too.

you could park at the elbow next to the creek or try the spur that gets you much closer if it is accessible. i tried coming down kings canyon from the top but there was a sign that says there is a closure due to rock slide at some point. not sure where though.

About those cracks: the consensus rating for the bottom one is V9 and it was first done a while back, although perhaps it's easier than V9 because we don't have a lot of experience with harder crack problems. The really sick looking line was my original futuristic dream-project. I stumbled on it more than 2 decades ago, when my wife and I were the only ones bouldering in these parts. I deemed it "the V-15" boulder. It has a lot of history and is still a project (obviously way out of my league now), but the kids are getting pretty close. It also seems I pretty much nailed the grade. There are two, bomber one-finger locks (classic, deep monodoigts in the crack) past the top of the photo (with long, powerful reaches between) followed by a couple of (more or less) usable holds to the lip. Everyone worries about losing a finger on monodoigts!

There are maybe a half a dozen cool problems on this little piece of roof (up to around V6 in difficulty). This the easiest, at about V3.
