Wildone... I appreciate your perspective. I have no intention of hoarding this fine gem for myself. There is plenty of FA to share and go around. I don't care if I get the credit or some of the eletist on here do. For some reason it has gone unnoticed until now, I can't explain why. I just want to climb it, it has some sweet lines. The politics on this site are depressing to say the least.

Just ignore the miserable, know it alls that attempt to poison this site. It is funny to read them sometimes and how they say everyone else is so stupid, but they remain in their self imposed misery. I wish they'd move to rockclimbing.com so they could really exercise their superiority and condescension, because most of us on the taco just laugh at them as loose screws.
They are really the minority.

This looks like the wall to the right of bald rock dome on the middle fork of the feather. There are no routes on it yet as there is no way right now to get to the base. I've flown by it a few years ago and took pics to come up with a line, but nothing yet...

People are just dying to know stonewalker- if you don't give them some meat to chew on, they bring their own.
It's the way people are.
We could all be talking about sweet looking lines on the cliff, if you posted a different photo. Instead, we're making stuff up, filling in the gaps.
I myself, would love to know.
There's plenty of big walls left in this state, but access is usually an issue for the weekend warrior on limited time.
Ask EC- he knows of lots, some of which we even discuss openly on this forum because they are protected by days of hiking.

Hey man, I just thought you *might* be the same guy.
Anyways, I should elaborate....
Some guy added me on myspace (back before that website became a ghost town), but he was a climber so I figured why not? All climbers are cool, me and this dude can be buds.
A few weeks later I get a personal message from him asking if I was up to driving to sacramento and climb a wall that hasn't been touched, 2k feet up. Sounded pretty good, but I couldn't make it out. That, and it was summer I believe? And probably stinking hot. I didnt get any information out of him, but he seemed cool enough, and was a fat guy like me, so we had that going for us.
Either way, you know who I am, I have pictures of myself on this website, and you even know my name. I think if you came out and at least told us who you were you would get some more positive feedback.
Unfortuntately, these are the days of the internet, and we have literally dozens of instances where people are making fake accounts and saying dumb sh#t to start an argument. If you came up to us in person and said what you are saying, I doubt there would be much issue. The issue revolves around anonymity. Its cool if you want to keep the crag quiet for now, thats totally understandable... what do you have to gain by hiding who YOU are? The only reason the majority of us can concieve is that it is because you are trolling. If you are or arent isn't the point, the fact is you come off as a bad troll, which makes it difficult to get your point across.
I hope I've cleared things up, and I think I've been pretty cool about it. If you're still sour about this, well thats unfortunate, but I am more than happy to meet you up somewhere, maybe Joshua Tree this October, and we can hang out. If you are still sour after that I can always choke your ass out.
:D

Hey Greg,
You're right, that was me. No hard feelings, even though you did call me fat. I have pretty thick skin and don't get offended easily. I do remember our previous conversation and you said something about how lazy you were. So, that's why I didn't push the issue. Obviously, I'm still looking for partners. Interested?
As for my anonymity, my name is Mike, I just bought a house and moved to Penn Valley from Smartsville, I'm married with two children, I've been climbing for 26 years, I work for the phone company, I'm also a firefighter, I'm 6ft 2in tall and according to Greg, I'm fat. ;) I also enjoy candlelight dinners and long sunset walks on the beach.
Does any of this help...? I doubt it. I'm still a stranger and with the attitudes of some, I prefer to keep it that way.
"Luke"
P.S.
Greg...message me, but save the ass choking for your other "partner".

I just talked to Mike - he's for real. I'm climbing with him at the secret crag on Sunday.
I thought from the first post it might be a troll, but when he posted the photo, it was one of the better "secret crags" I've seen.
More climbing, less speculating....!

Hey Stonewalker and Clint, Have fun, wish I could join you but have the slight problem of being on the other side of the continent, where we are lucky to have 20' unclimbed crags!!!! Just be careful of the big brother of the fellow on the "watch your step" post or the cohorts of the folks referred to in the Yosemite Pot farm thread.

No, he can't be for real. Several people on the internet have said so. I know they haven't actually talked to him or anything, but they obviously know more than you do, because...
Ummm... How does that work again?

Wow, this poor guy offers up some FA potential and he gets slammed. Rough crowd.
Go after it boys and take some shots and post em up.
I learned to climb in the Feather River Canyon, lots of potential still out there.
