NigelSSI, Glad to see you recently back from the dead (so-to-speak). In the afternoon I ended up cruising through some of the Way Lake boulders in Mammoth for the very first time. Just taking pictures (to post soon), but it was an eye opener for sure. Had a pretty serious injury this year too. Appreciate the motivation.

i hear the place is riddled with first world problems.
But the tent caterpillars are lending a bit of third-world charm.

Cool FA after work. Two boys on Isa's Rope 5.10 Brian, Nick and Isa did the 2nd pitch just before dusk. Steep crimpers:)

Secret spot.
Lots and lots of rock
Not secret. Birdy closures end this week.
More rock here than you can shake your rack at.

Well - Thursday actually - but Fishook Arete on Russel. Sweet climb - although I realize I am too old for this game. Ha.
For those not in the know, Russel is a tad over 14,000 ft. 1000 feet climbing up to 5.9. And even the 5.7 feels like feels like 5.9 - especially with a big pack on.
But fun was had by all.
Photos to follow.

Mike,
Ask me at the end of the day. I'm off to climb with my daughter on Cathedral Ledge.
I'll see you in August!
Cheers, Steve

drljefe that looks like a great place. All in AZ? Steve hope the climb goes well. i can't wait to get back to the winds. Haven't been climbing too much the last couple of months, but have been mountain biking a lot. Did a hundred mile race yesterday with over 10,000ft of elevation gain. May try to get out and do some climbing today in this area, but I am still walking a little funny and have a numb toe.

Did three new pitches in the Bighorns. A nice two pitch 5.6 and a single 5.9. Don't know if they are FA's or not, but there was zero evidence of human passage. Glorious fun.
The 5.9:

Climbed the North Ridge of The Spearhead, in RMNP. The plan was to climb either Syke's Sickle or The Barb. But apparently multiple other parties had the same idea. In hindsight, we should have climbed something more interesting like the East Prow or Axe Age.
saw lots of cool wildlife: elk (seems like a whole herd lives up there!), pika, marmots, grouse....

It poured rain - torrentially - here on Friday and Saturday nights. It's been a cool, wet June.
So apart from family responsibilities and such, I helped at the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival. Lots of fun, including pillaging and looting, plus the ever-popular wife-carrying race. Winners get their weight in beer - OK, Carlsberg - which ought to pique your interest.

Climbed a route I've been Jonesin' to do for awhile. Section 20 on what is called Rubicon Point in the Emerald Bay area of Lake Tahoe.
Pretty sure we were on route the first two pitches, but after that, I have no idea. Ended up leading a scary, chockstone loaded, kitty litter chimney to finish.
The highlight was probably after we un-roped and did a whole bunch of 3rd and 4th classing along the quality ridge.
Descent was quality, character building.

climbed out of bed and into two cups of coffee. Fortunately there were pine trees around, so all was not lost. ;)

Saturday 6/23 Holdless Horror @ Dozier Dome
Sunday 6/24 Cathedral Peak
My first multi pitch Trad leads. Cathedral was probably a little optimistic, we took 5 1/2 hours as my route finding was err great, and I'm not use to climbing 60 meters at a time so kept stopping with way too much rope left. It was so windy up there I had to hand on at a stance to not get blow off a couple of times. Folks without enough clothing were bailing at the chimney. Sorry if you were out there and I slowed you down.

On Saturday SteveW and I went to Bucksnort slab in the south platte. He lead up Classic Dihedral a 5.7 crack which is as good as any. I lead Bushes of Beezlebub - a 5.8+ with some OW.
So steves shirt played into this story nicely.
