I finally got to check out Ruby Wall on Saturday. Awesome climbing and great splitters, but the rock is very flaky. Still looking for a "Ruby Tuesday" topo. I was told that it's the best route there.

New hardman routes! Hopefully!
But Sun Spot on the Hulk with Airstream start would be cool. Escape From Poland too.
Still want to do Harding route on Keeler, a few routes on Picture Peak. Maybe Angel Wings (Vlad's TR from last year sure makes me want to!) maybe something else. It all depends on free time, what partners want to do, weather and timing...Western Front on Russell been on the list for quite some time. Bastille Buttress on LPP. Maybe do one of the new Croft routes on Merriam? Tehipite Dome "Wall of Ages" looks cool, but would be a lot of work. Maybe full Palisade traverse.
WHAT IS ON VLAD'S TICK LIST?!?! SOME AWESOME PHOTOS FROM RUBY!

My mind is on a single track lately. I feel like I've snooped around the range enough and know what the rock is like everywhere. So, this summer it's HULK, HULK, HULK! I one hung both Solar Flare and Tradewinds on consecutive days last year, so I definitely want to get back on those and check out other routes on the Hulk. I also got the topo for Ruby Tuesday from Dave Nettle. Would like to get on that. It looks great! Probably has been done less than 4-5 times in 12 years. My partner from Angel Wings said that Samurai Warrior is the best route in the sierra. It seems very doable as well.
By the way if any of you have the time to get out to the Hulk or other peaks from the list during the first week of June, let me know. I've got May 31-June 6 free and I'm STOKED! Vitaliy? Let's go climbing, comrade!

Hey Alpine! I came across this AAC report regarding Tyndall. It sounds like they got a bit off route and ended up climbing something hard, scary, and not worth repeating.
Chief, that route of yours is really good! I was happy I printed out the topos from summitproject a few years ago, because last summer they suddenly disappeared. I felt like you got the ratings totally reversed. The 11a bit was at the end of pitch 1, where it shows 10c on your topo, while the second pitch was closer to 5.10- handcrack.

Thanks Vlad - thats a hell of a story.
" so I reached out with my right hand too—and my feet cut loose. The lip crumbled, and I fell, lip in hand. So I yelled down, “On belay! Climb when ready!” Becka didn’t feel the fall, and as she climbed I lowered until I could clip my webalette to pieces I’d placed on the way up, then landed perfectly on a small stance."
I'd heard about free attempts on Rowells Direct East Face as well. Super steep lower section.

Speaking of Bubbs Creek Wall and Samauri Warrior, does anyone have a topo?
The secor has a nice long verbal description.
THANKS!
