The Reid's guide, ©1994, has about 17 routes listed for Last Resort Cliff,
here's a photo I took yesterday (I have a high-res composite too) which shows a lot of possibilities.

Since it's been 16+ years it is hard to imagine that there aren't a whole lot more routes on that formation. Anyone want to describe their routes?

I can make a large file available if there is interest in the route authors...

here is a detail composite of the area around Ready of Not and Shattered, I can't quite make sense of the topo in Reid (my page 84) and this picture of that same area...

Atomic Finger crack is an awesome pitch, killer splitter finger crack and a surprise on the last couple moves, heh heh

Nobody ever goes there .....

AFC is to the right of Ready or Not (which you have one corner too far to the right)

Edit: Ed, the Meyers/Reid sketch is from further up Valley I think and what looks like a blankish face right of Ready or Not has some vertical features and AFC maybe can't be seen at all. Werner/Warbler will sort it out.

Hey isn't there some bird nesting up there?

Whoops wrong thread :-)

Warbler? I remember always having to free solo some easy long off-width/chimney type pitch to get to the Atomic finger crack.

You remember that?

Me and Dale did the Atomic finger crack like 3 times.

Dale loved that thing .....

The thing is impossible to see from that view.

But !!!!!

You can see it from the railing on the big Oak flat road hiking up from the wood yard.

Right Kevin?

I've looked at Wild Turkey, Kevin. Alone, as usual, it may be that not
many people who would want to climb it also want to go out to it.
