Bluey, Munge, High Gravity and others, those are some great pix. I have only ice climbed in Kings Canyon not rock climbed (okay a bit of rock with the ice) and that was back in 1984.
I'd love to get back there.

Paddy, next time you're in the States we'll go. Of course, Fatty or Jaybro will have to belay you, I'll take pics or something, maybe rope-up behind you.
King's Canyon is an undiscovered country (if you're into Star Trek).

Hey Rob....
So you guys were tackling Freak Show after Craig Peer went back for the SA in late 2007. You know he "modernized" the route by replacing old Leepers he had placed in '86 with fat 3/8" on the A3 traverse. So, you guys didn't finish it? Been wanting to do the 3rd on this thing after Craig told about his trip with Carolyn. Check out this revised topo (if you don't already have a copy).
And Craig's TR: "21 Years Later...The Second Ascent Of Freak Show"

As mentioned earlier about the initial pictures posted (particularily the 8th one from the top....North Dome). The apron on North Dome is called The Chernobyl Wall. Craig Peer, Mike Stewart and a few others put up a handful of 5.9 to 5.10+ routes there in the mid-80's. Did two of their routes a few years back......'Jerks On A Joyride' (5.9) and 'Enchanted Pork Fist' (5.10). 'Jerks' is a very fun exercise in balance control. However, EPF is an exercise in not shitting your pants!! Runout wandering route with bad deck potential!

I didn't know you climbed those face routes Dave. Split Lips and Broken Bits was my favorite. Some day I might get around to replacing those bolts!

Reilly, are those established lines or some potential dream routes?
Look good!

Reilly, I am interested. I'm not a FAist, but I have a couple of buds who may want to work on the project with us.
Cool looking lines!

Reilly,
Laeger & Leversee did one of those two lines. 'in an AAJ around '86. Camalot Route, 10c. During that time, we were around there using various Camalot prototypes.

That left route looks to have a full pitch, mid-way up, with a gnarly lo0kig slab!
Tasty looking, but that slab is daunting. Too hard to tell if there is pro. Runout stance bolting???
Anybody want this pitch? Maybe 2 pitches.
