The Peters, Croft and Noebels, did the line out right and there is a section of 5.12a if I recall correctly on the second pitch near a bolt. The climbing looks like fun otherwise with plenty of features.
I don't know much about Shipoopi's line except that it is hard and was chopped at one point much to Steve's horror! Very cool sweep of stone!

A teaser from the second ascent of Cap'm Pissgums. Hard right from the outset!
Paul Davidson took this one.

Nice photo of the start of Pissgums, Steve... I remember having to do a full body stem to get started (both feet to the left, both hands to the right), staring down into the boulder-abyss. Sweet climb with three distinct cruxes.
BTW- After sweating/cursing/shaking/avoiding vomiting on the handcrack, I was looking for a show from my 2nd... and he just CHIMNEYED it, facing North(left side in), like it was a 5.7.

The Croft route is 12a? Anyone have more beta on it? Where is the bolt line?
I met Croft at the bottom of the Hulk last summer but he didn't remember much about his route.

Great climb! Did this w/ Jim Waugh one weekend, and he only brought one larger Cam for the second pitch. He 'let' me lead it, and I still get sweaty palms over it. It was a hot day, and almost slid out 30 ft above the one cam. Most sandbag 5.9 pitch I've ever seen.

Sandbag??? No 5.10 move anywhere on that pitch... 5.8 move neither! LOL
Having this place all to ourselves, BITD was dreamy to say the least! Wandering around looking for 5.10's and psyching up for the grand lines. Great memories!

Back from the Shadows again!
Out where an In-jun's your friend!

Yes, we're back from the Shadows again!
Reprise (Whisperin' with others):
We're goin' back to the Shadows again !
Out where an Indian's your friend!
Where the vegetables are green,
And you can pee right into the stream!
(And that's important!)
We're back from the Shadows again
A favorite ditty whilst trapsing about the place...LOL

Nice shots, Steel!
Combining the second and third could be the best single pitch in the whole area!
Whoa, check out the colors! Could be the most popular phrase heard in the Dragoons...LOL

Back to the first pic of the TR, it looks like another Bigfoot sighting...above and right of the guy. Bigfoot's pulling himself outta the crack inch by inch....he looks a little squeezed. ;-)
