Link to an Alpinist blurb by Jon Sykes and pics by Jamie Cunningham (when's the new guidebook coming out, dammit?) of one of the more prominent sloughs of Cannon (excluding the demise of the Old Man hisself, 'course).

golden door .11a at the stealth wall, donner summit fell down. at least, it appears that way.

if not, the beta in the falcon guide needs to be changed: the first bolt is on the deck behind the climber and the rest is extra super runout. and possibly .11a+++
this could be a kind of old school i've never seen before...

justthemaid - I was in on the first ascent of Balance Rock in northern Malibu. The balancing nature of the rock wasn't as insecure as the funky bolts we put in. It was fun sitting on top wondering if some Chumash tribesman sat on the rock a couple of hundred years before us. Not the best rock to solo, but I'm sure back then they were pretty stout.

Seneca Rocks' Gendarme:

Odin saw the pillar and couldn't resist flicking it...that's my theory, anyway.

Here's a recent one, Castles in the Sand, Church Area, Sedona AZ.

Before (from my guidebook pictures):


After (about a week ago):


The roof move is now much closer to the white rock band.

Never climbed there but the fall of the Gendarm at Seneca Rocks comes to mind.

Just a note to say that Michael Broad posted on FB that he did the climb a week ago, he was wondering about:

1. Smashed hangers barely clippable
2. Loose choss up to the roof
2. easier than the .11+ from our guide.

There you have it - the new first ascent.

Yeah, a sixty foot section of the ridge at the top out of one of my routes out at Beacon came down a couple of years ago.

There are bolts in the talus blocks below Mayhem... I don't know the story, but it kinda freaks me out every time I climb there.
