Unfortunately Film is a thing of the past,
Kodak and others no longer make film, gone the way of records,8-track and cassette tapes. Ah the good ole days!

Shawn - I would have to agree. There are a few nice single pitchers we saw. Here are my notes from when we went up there.
That trip we TR'd a steep sport climb at the top of that gulley, once it's cleaned up, prolly goes at a hard 11. A crimp chimp would love it. But with all the cracks around I don't see a pressing need to bolt it (doubt it would see many ascents). That might change if the wall gets more routes on it.
A few of my friends said they went back there a week later and climbed the wall to the top thru a scary roof section, though I don't know exactly where. (Gil if you are out there, feel free to chime in)
I'd like to head back up there this Saturday but I really wanna tick off Jamin for Jehovah and Up the Nuthin.

That circled area is it. Crack right through the middle that looked great, but hard. Glad to see you guys are up there getting on those routes. I didnt quit understand the bolt there as I thought there was a crack that could have been used. Maybe flared out? Each one of those "gulleys" up there have a lot of potential for new routes. Im hoping to start getting back up there with everyone soon. Have bolts and anchors and will travel......

wml, you should seriously think about giving CV Sentinel a try down this way, too. I predict you would not be disappointed! :)
Have fun. Tomorrow is supposed to be another glorious day here. Wish I could go two days in a row, dang!

I saw a couple of cars parked by Fortress today (Footloose?). Haven't seen Kenny's truck, though.
Monkeys are sending!
I am in the lodge again waiting for my wife and drinking bad beer ;)
