Nice! A magic place despite the road.
It was really something before the road or
I should say before the paved road; days of
solitude. Maybe Fred remembers it before
any road was there?

Reilly,
Did you climb up there before the paved road? For me it's a tough call. I would not have done the climb if it had been remote and had a long approach, but doing that climb made me happier than, well, a lot of things. I've paid my dues in remote pre-cellphone unsupported situations, so I really do see the other side, too. I guess I'm not losing sleep over the road, but we should never forget the commitment that it took the the first assentionists to get up those suckers. I feel that way about new pro-options and retrobolting, too.

Darwin,
Before the paved road? You mean did it take a 4 wheel drive to get in there? No need to queue up! Heck, I can't remember climbing at Snow Creek Wall with anybody else there but a few times!

If you still have the photos, please re-post to SuperTopo. Or you can download your own photos from PB and then re-post them.

Yes, I am going to do that. I am going to pay the losers at Photobucket $40 for one month of their "Service" which will restore all my links. Then, I will take screen shots of my trip reports, so that I can see what order the photos go in.
Then, I am going to find another place to host the photos and restore the trip reports.
Lame.

Good.
Last I looked I could still see my own photos on Photobucket. I downloaded most of the climbing-relevant ones, but can't remember which ones were posted to which threads in what sequence. I think I could re-construct the TRs that suffered, at least approximately and good enough for practical purposes.
I too was casting around for a new hosting site, and then remembered that I have a Facebook page. It was created accidentally but works very well for a place to upload photos and link them to SuperTopo.

Can someone explain this whole thing? If I remember, in the early Supertopo days, one had to hang one's photos on some site like Photobucket in order to post them here. But that changed a while back and one can now post photos to ST straight from one's own computer.
So why is photobucket even being talked about? Any file you uploaded to Photobucket had to come from your own computer in the first place, right? So why not just re-upload them to ST from your own computer?
What am I not understanding here?

Holly that's such a bummer but your trip was a great one and the 40 bucks will be worth it. Looking forward to browsing it again with the photos up. Climb on!
