Thanks for the replies—wasn't expecting so many so soon!
Johnny, I just meant Elko is in the middle of where all my partners live (Tucson, Denver, Seattle, Bozeman, SF, etc), so it can be tough to coordinate those long distance trips. But to your suggestion, I went exploring in the Humbolts today and definitely found some of what's out there. A bit chossy in places, but looks enticing nonetheless—has anyone done any multi pitching in Lamoille?? Not much info on MP and the guidebook is out of print. Looking forward to Harrison Pass as well. Unfortunately, rain and lack of partners kept me off the rocks. Gonna keep trying to meet people in Elko to get out with.
Gnome, yes sir, I started out as a pre-teen gym rat at Go Vertical in Stamford before they closed up shop in '07. I even bought my first rack with birthday party tip money! Back then, I cut my teeth at the Gunks, the 'dacks, and a few summers in Acadia. But these days I work in the mining industry, so I end up in some more remote areas taking whatever climbing I can get nearby or on the occasional road trip. I'll keep trying to do what youth I have left justice while Im here in NV, haha.
Rick, I've got a non typical work schedule, so it's tough to make plans too far in advance, but if you want to keep me posted next time your going out to climb, I'll definitely to try to make it.
Thanks again, all! ...And of course, let me know if anyone wants to rope up!

This is your Egyptian Ridge weather report for June 11. Perfect weather, mid sixties. Moosedrool and I had a decent introductory day, repeating Daytrippin on Sphinx south face, Left Crack on Obelisk, as well as toproping some new ground just left of NW Buttress pitch 4.
So far, I've climbed there every month of the year with the exception of July and August. That will be remedied soon. Comfortable conditions can always be found by adjusting the compass heading of the aspects climbed according to the weather.

Nice going! I managed half a route in France with my wife and my nephew.

You didn't miss anything John. Sounds like you're having a good time in Europa.
I'm kinda getting tired of climbing on Sphinx and Obelisk, but feel I must finish this mark off of the calendar.
Are you game for early July? Perhaps a go at that unclimbed crack line on the totally unclimbed N. Buttress I posted a pic of in late winter.
