Well, another Courtright season is shortly upon us and the guide has been out there for a season. I've received a lot a great feedback on a new effort to try to record and guide to routes in the area with the knowledge that there will be a lot of corrections and additional information becoming available as time goes on.
First thanks for all of the feedback. I feel a lot more comfortable that the guide is generally doing it's job. Secondly keep it coming!
I will post corrections and new details on a Courtright update thread as they come in and are verified. This will hopefully serve as providing contemporary information on the area as well as become a basis for a future update.
Again, thanks to all who helped out on this project. It wouldn't have happened without you.
Regards, dwight

cool, thx Dwight.
Have you thought about having a specific web site for updates?
CourtrightClimbing.com ...

That's the dam and Power Dome almost at the right edge.

The ultimate destination in the summer when it's 106F in Merced!

Jody, your pictures always blow me away.
I've been working with the Nikon set-up I told you about. It's taken me a while to wrap my brain around this camera. It offers up a myriad of ways to shoot and I'm narrowing it down to the several that I think will work for me.
I got some nice things out of it in King's Cyn, but everything I have from Courtright is point and shoot.

Wow Jody,
So many unreal photos. The view out to the High Sierra off Trapper Dome is especially compelling.
Kris, where is the photo you show of the reservoir from a distance, it looks too far south for Dogtooth? That ridge above and behind Cliff Lake or an airplane?
Thanks for rekindling great memories of a lovely destination.
Road could be opening early this year?

Jody, you, Kris, Randy Wenzel, Epperson and so many others have captured the magic of this place in images. Whats so cool is that it's not climber shots but Courtright! climbing just happens to happen here. Here's a photo of my buddy tree.
Where I want my ashes to go!

There's a high point, a lesser peak but with prominence called Spread Eagle up west of Trapper. A very nice short hike/scramble with, as you can see, fine views.

I saw a guy there guiding some nubies on that thing. He was walking up and down alonside them giving instructions.
Here's that Spread Eagle feature from up behind Locke Rock...
That's Leopold Dome in the valley, Spread Eagle high on the skyline.

Doesn't hold a candle to Jody's photos, but nice perspective on Leopold (from the base of Locke):

This thread is great! The only new stuff I've done up there was with Dave Fries and he has all the beta to share, which I'm sure he will.
Dwight, remember when I asked about some old bolts on a remote formation that's not in the guide? I never figured out where they came from but Brandon Thau and I added a fantastic route to that rock if your guide ever extends its boundaries.

I've only been there a couple times, but I love that place. Thanks for all the beautiful images to soothe me through a gray NW February.

Hey there Jody. Vernon had it as Voyager Rock. I included as a "Dome". Don't know why...I guess most others were domes and I missed the rock thing...anyway they're one in the same.
