Just found another new crag today. No signs of other climbers except for 1 hanger less star drive bolt about 5 feet up. It looked like a bailed ground up attempt. The fire really messed up the rock, and it's really flaky, but I cleaned up some lines today. Can't wait to go lead them on trad gear. The rock is really similar to J Tree, it looks and feels the same and the formations and cracks are similar too.

Skip and I were just complaining today about how the rock around Bishop is not nearly as chossy as we prefer - missing the SoCal looseness...

a little...

Angeles National Monument. :^) Nice scenery photo, Jeff.
Ray Palmer and I climbed the boltless run out graveled (south ?) side of Pacifico ca 1969. We tied off a KB and pounded in a stubby Leeper for pro. Paul and I revisited in '85.

Tfish that one really got fried bt the fire. I climbed the slabby face up the west side once. Couldn't find much else to do, just bouldering it. If you go up the ridge you'll find more stuff. Not far up is a rock with a small roof that would be a good tr or lead maybe, but it's only like 20 feet. Then much farther up is some good formations in an awesome location. Not huge stuff, but excellent rock. Guy and I tr'd a really good crack climb and some other lines. From there drop down the north side towards the road and there are more rocks. One has a bolted face climb that has a josh feel to it. You can see it from the 2 when you're heading down from the 6000' gate.

Rincon, I haven't gone all the way up to that crack yet. I've done the bolted line on that one by the 6,000ft mark. I also bolted a 10d on the side of that rock too.

At the 3 points all the cracks were pretty fun. I'm going back today to climb them again.

Is this the short one you were talking about? I saw it but didn't hop on it. It looks fun.



I still haven't been to Alder Creek yet, I've heard a ton about it though.

Lots of fun boulders scattered along the ridge east of 3 Points. A bit of hiking involved but a beautiful place in general.

Looking for partners to explore this stuff a few times per month. Mr Savage?

I live close enough for Angeles Crest to be an after-work crag in the summer and easy half-days on winter weekends. Anyone else like to head up there these days?

Yay. Jeff is back.

Nujob... I'm down. Maybe we can get Batrock and Tfish and make it a foursome.

F*#k yeah. Ground up sh#t Jeff. Thanks for inspiring me to not be a rap bolting soft c*#k and to put routes up on lead. It is 1,000 times better and so much more worth it.
