Been talking to Kevin Daniels of Fixe/K. Daniels publishing on wrapping up the project. I think that one more Summer of research will get it to a point where a book can start comming together. The biggist problem seems to be the distraction of finding something new to do there and having fun rather than researching...yikes!
I'm sure welcoming any new and old route information as this project comes to closure...dwight

So how is the book coming along?
Found some old shots.
These are from "By Juniper there are rings around Uranus"
More on Voyger, Cast of Characters, this is to the right of " Eve of Destruction"
And over on the right side of Voyger, Is "The Gold Standard" 12B/C???
A trip to Courtright would not be complete without a visit to the Power House.

It's still happening. Will be up there on the 4th weekend to try to wrap up. Come on by.
My biggest problem is I find stuff I wan't to climb and forget about researching. A new route last weekend on the east face of Penstemon..beautiful .10a/b with Mr. McHam.
So how's the Needles thing coming?
Would be great to cross paths and want to talk to you about the book...d.

Let me know when the guidebook is out. I hope you include the backside of Punk Dome which faces Penstemon Dome. It looks like the bolts provide new routes or different variations as compared to the SEKI guide. Thanks.

I was on both Seam Stress and Gold Standard last year. Both very good. Hope to get back on both for a RP, maybe over the 4th holiday.

I was up the Saturday before Father's Day, playing on Spring Dome with the specific intent of giving my calves a workout, so that my "equipment list" for Crest Jewel will be complete. They certainly got a workout, but "buffed calves" they were not!

What bugs? ;>)
In truth, not bad at all. And we had the Dome to ourselves, which is usually a rarity, given its trivial approach. Even Trapper Dome seemed deserted.
It seemed rather like August, though, for dryness.

There's some steep stuff up there too, well vertical at least. I know, steep means upside down these daze, but it's not all slabbin' at Courtright.

Yup, got the back side of Punk as well as the front. Still a lot of unclaimed mystery routes out there.

D...
Do you have "A Knob To Far"?????
PUNK ROCK?
When one parks on the slab.... your headlights are pointing at it.
When both feet are off the ground... your climbing 5.11.

Knob too Far is a Laeger route. Super hard. The crux is a dynamic move on a super thin slab to get to the "Knob to Far." Basically you explode upwards and get a couple of running steps to catch the knob. Best to let your belayer know before going.
