Hahahaha,
Um, it resides within 30 miles of Bass Lake. It's not an LA type thing - it doesn't require gasoline or lighter fluid...

It's settled then, Mooch you and me get hammered on good beer (5% or better). Kev drinks his 20 buttlights and we send him off. This needs to happen!
Sometimes just watching kevin lead will cause an involuntary upheaval of the grandest nature.
The guy never pukes, he turns aqua green. Throw him on something runout or steep and it's like the bile just gives up on it's mission to impede climbing for that particular morning.
Kev- bring the beer bandolier

Sheesh, you guys ever heard of this stuff called water?
So Grey Crew,
Pete did confirm that the corner pictured (along the right side of "The Wing Feather" buttress) is indeed "Book of Spring Pages". Note that this is contrary to the route location that he posted on rc.com.

Hi Nate -
Is Pete sure he's not thinking of the corner system that comes out of the 1st pitch of Wing Feather? At the 150-foot point in the corner we are pictured climbing here, the crack was so covered in black potato chip lichen and crusted rock, it's hard to believe anyone stepped foot there before.
Also, there would be no possible means of getting down without leaving signs. There's not too many ways to continue up, and someone would remember how even if it was 15 years ago. We know those options and would be interested in a description from Pete.
We are not a big fan of the blanket statement that anyone climbed everything obvious but left no topos. There's scores of lines we consider obvious. Did he climb them all?

Hi Sue,
He's been very busy, but says he'll dig for details. I've also pointed him to this thread, and he enjoyed the pics.
For better or for worse, SoYo's climbing history is simply riddled with mystery and ambiguity.

Sick of the crowds, the rangers, the snakes, tigers and bears? Ohhhh No! When are you guys going to get over there?
Hopefully not *too* obvious, as it looks really different when right under it. If referring to the one that tilts like a feather spine w/another crack stemming off it, that's Escher's.

I believe that's the start to Escher's Way? Susu is that the case? If so I will say it's fun fun fun for all of pitch one!

Susu,
You are right about Escher's. From far away like in the picture it looks so sweet and we were jealous watching you guys climb it, but then we came over to get the second accent and it was hard to tell where it started. Nice route. Did you guys make it any higher. I am trying to get away for one of these weekends to try your new lines. Save one for me.

Sean... We would all love to see you & Jess out there anytime. We have better topos to share now, too. We could hop on Friendly Skies with you guys and the Pink Balloon.... there's a bunch more cragging to do up at Owl ledge. Plenty to go around...
We hear you guys may make it out for the Kev fest hopefully? s
Here you are Sean on Escher's that day - a little fuzzy tho:

Sean,
Physics of Death has yet to see a 2nd ascent! It's just to the left of Escher's Way - passes through the roofs!

What?? You guys haven't built an escalator up to Gray yet? I'm too old for approaches like that! ;)
BTW, has anyone in the crew sampled 'Intrepid Voyage' yet?
