Had an outstanding weekend at Bowman Lake and the Emeralds. Climbed at Candy Land and Larry Land on day 1 and the Negativity Cave and the Fast Food Wall on day 2. The highlights were Reality Check, Porn Star, Rockin Roller, Fries with that Mantle, In and Out Urge and Half Full or Half Empty.
Many thanks to all of the people who have put in such hard work to make this area the fantastic place that it is. BRAVO!

This area looks fantastic and I'm hoping to make my first visit out there this weekend if possible. Great job to all the developers who have clearly dedicated a lot of time and energy to this area. Out of curiosity, did any of the guidebooks previously mentioned ever materialize (Horniak authored?)? I saw mention of it being included in the Local's Guide to Northeast California as well, but when I checked it out on Camp4Press it didn't seem to be. I know some of the Emeralds stuff is in the old Falcon Guide. Is the more recent stuff still more of a choose your own adventure situation or are there some topos/route lists circulating out there somewhere? I saw the few already posted, but what about Bowman area? Thanks all.

This thread + the old falcon guide + www.mountainproject.com is pretty much the beta that currently exists, I believe.

Trimin: Josh is still working on the guide but other things (like work) keep getting in the way. For Emeralds, Look at the 4 beta guides in the photos at the bottom of this page: http://mountainproject.com/v/the-emeralds/105733929

Mike, thanks for all the information, photos and routes. We had a great time at Bowman last weekend and appreciate the effort out there.
Are the old routes at the mouth of the Emerald Gorge still climbable (like e-ticket ride on the right side). I may have the name wrong. Last time I was in the gorge was 8 or 9 years ago.
Thanks!

Mike,
Is the fastest (and most legal) approach beta into the gorge from above or from below these days?
