dust,
3 known routes (one not officially reported) to the top, and others in the works, as mentioned in the article. But who can be dead sure? Mystery still prevails in some remote places...
The first route, Memphis Blues, has possibly never seen a second ascent in 30+ years. Or, at least Stephen McCabe hasn't heard any feedback in all that time.

Grahm is actually getting more into snowmobiles than climbing... pfft
Leo on Sunset Shamen on a very very cold day. I believe Bruce was on the belay.
I imagine all we'll have is memories for awhile. El Nino has done a number up there.
I've got two projects ready to send and it's giving me fits...

Tork,
You out there?
All,
I think we need to have a spring preparatory meeting. Kinda like a big long safety meeting only with lots of beer. What y'all think?

Good to see So Yo on the front page again. Power to the Peeps looks sooo good from that angle. How hard is it? Keep me in the loop yall. I been thinkin about taking skis into Fres-mello dome early season and skiing that western slope off the top if the avy danger isn't too high. Thought a good day would be to ski in, ditch skis on top. Slither down the east gully and climb a route to the top and ski off.

Micro that would be a full on adventure fur sure!
Best just hitch a ride with one of those sled owners!
Man, global warming needs to step it up so we have an early season! HAHAHAH>
It's so close I can feel the perfect granite.
Oh and I am buying a chainsaw. Tollhouse just plain scares me when he is yielding one!

That's a good idea Micro! I may try that. I'll up the ante though and x/c ski in with packs and spend the night. I've only been there once so there's a lot left for me to explore. Shoot, the route I did we didn't even finish. I gots work to do!!!
Where would you park and leave the vehicle is the question.
Kev, I'd like to attend this (beer drinking) meeting.
Mucci, I always wanted a chainsaw....I may score one too!

Tollhouse with gallons of white gas would be epic, not to mention the start of the biggest forrest fire in history.
think of all of the formations that would pop up!
Man, I miss tollhouse!

So where is Grahm and more importantly, where are his snow photos of the great rocks of the Soyo In Snow?
Let me guess - he putting around some meadow on his turbo sled blowing on his didgeridoo.

Hey Guys! Just checked this thread out of the blue and see I need to post an update. Been busy snowmobiling and didge playing ;-)
Central Camp to the Look Out has very few down trees and will be easily cleared with chainsaws after the snow melts. Snow pack at Cold Springs Summit is about 7 to 8 feet. As of yesterday this recent warm spell has melted the snow off the south faces and they are climbable!
I was riding around yesterday with light long sleeve shirt and no jacket. Felt like high 60's in the sun. Rode to the top of Magic Wall which is warm and dry and then boon docked down the valley and over to Lost Eagle which looks a bit wetter due the snow on top. Found some good looking stone along the way too.
Heres some recent pics...

NIce G!
Man, what's the tour cost?
Thanks for the update, I was getting worried that the amount of trees down would be an issue.
I would be happy to get in on the "Clearing Party" this year, I think some saws have recently been purchased for the spring.
BIG AIR!

Grahm,
FYI, some of that "good looking stone along the way" has been claimed. hehe :) Not that anyone else will ever be interested in such a long approach...
I haven't snowmobiled since I was a teenager in Utah, but boy was it fun! Great looking powder. Was it so thick you sometimes can't risk stopping, lest you sink and can't get going again?
