Here's a purty little unclimbed crag up near Pemby
More than a few of those up that way.

Yeah but this one might have a transmission line by the base soon.
Bruce can sled in and mix climb those leaning corners in the middle

Adrian, that shot of the base of the Grand is quite something. Nice work.

Woaaaaaah! Andy! ^^^^**
Quality.
That's awesome, don't think I've ever seen anyone up there.
Who's done it?
What's up with the crack on the right?
Lots of good pics here. Really cool.

Who has done it:
Greg Cameron and George Manson in 1979.
a little about George Manson:
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=1618401&msg=1813715#msg1813715
(Utah) Steve Seats and Kevin McLane in 2002, lefthand finish
Matt Maddaloni and John Furneaux in 2004, direct finish
Alan(sp?) the professional trail-builder who worked a few summers on the Grouse Grind
Gord Ross who took the picture of John Furneaux on it that is in McLane 2005
2 guys 10 days ago
That's my list.
The crack on the right is Turkey Shoot, 11b, Fred Beckey and Dave Beckstead in 1966, FFA Kai Hirvonen and Andre Ike in 2004

You'll be okay if you can avoid a Squamish car in Sonoma.

Wild Turkey
I shared the belay with Tom Gibson as Greg Cameron led it on sight in shorts circa 1980
Not my cup of tea at the time so I gave it a miss.
Not often travelled as 10+ flared chimneys don't compel too many.

So, that's Wild Turkey? Jeez, I don't remember even a little about it. I DO remember drinking Wild Turkey after the FA (or was it before?). Thanks for the post up, MH2. I'm gonna save this one.
Even though I can't remember anything about it, my guess is that the guy in the picture is doing it wrong side in.

Yes, great picture, Ryan. A different distance and living planet eco-tones instead of just the RR ambience.
That pale patch above Brownie's shoulder:

Thanks guys, the start used to be way easier when that sign was there :-) Alex is the climber.
So what's up with last train to Hicksville? Any one ever climb it besides chief?? It's got a leaver biner as all his 5.12 routes do, but damn it's a pretty cool looking line.

Tim McAllister took this shot of my balding pate on chewbacca last week -the highly enjoyable 3 pitcher on shannon creek wall
We climbed Chewbacca early this summer and thought the same -- great climb in a great location.
There is lots of terrific climbing on that wall and it's great to see old routes being cleaned up and new routes being put up. Some really cool stuff just to the right of Chewbacca, for sure.
Does anyone still climb "Poultry in Motion"? I remember that as a full-value route, and with all the traffic on Skywalker and the other new and refurbished stuff on Gobsmacking Wall there must be hundreds of climbers walking by it on the descent these days.

I remember the Caboose arete listed as a top-rope problem in the guidebook. The name Keith fukin Reid attached to it as I recall vaguely.

I take back my earlier assertion. Right-side-in is looking like the right way to do Wild Turkey. I should have just shut up after telling you I don't remember it so well.
It's a beautiful-looking climb...beautiful, wish I remembered it better.

Wild Turkey is a beautiful line on brilliant rock in a great setting. But it is the Devil in it that makes it so attractive.
Might not help the memory, but here is the rest of the main pitch.
