Was talking with Curt Chadwick this summer. What Kroger doesn't say in his report is the key role the women played.
And I don't mean THAT role, or at least Curt didn't mention it in the presence of his wife.
The women helped haul the whole catastrophe into the canyon, had sustenance and water waiting for the men when they got back to camp. And generally made the entire trip more endurable. They were tough ladies and were an excellent support team.

Others say not, as it is split in half by a ledge system one can hike across.
Maybe somebody could 'chip' the ledge system away?

Now THAT'S a place to spend several weeks. Big Fat Worthy Rock.
That's what it's all about. To me, anyway.

Bump!
When does Tehipite get too hot?
I assume it would be no fun in early july...
I'm guessing September might be ideal?

No we didn't have time to climb this trip, just hiked spanish mountain and tehipite over the weekend to scope stuff out and explore. I want to climb Tehipite but all the other formations in that valley were what I was there to see!
Also, couldn't find the rap anchors to Astro-Gil... That was the original goal but I couldn't get Friday off :(

Jeez, pretty cool looking. Meant to go out there this fall to check out the approach but so far it hasn't happened.
Anything else in that valley to climb?

I musta been dyslexic when writing the description: Shoulda said, "left of the 1970 Kroger Route. Anyway, I bet it's the steepest bigwall in the Sierra backcountry.

Coming from you EC, that's worth sloggin back there for a mortal/aid route.
