@ionlyski: that last splitter is amazing. Where is that?
YoungGun,
Sorry, I've been out for awhile. The zig zag crack I think you asked about is Anunaki at Indian Creek. It's a short route by IC standards but it's pretty overhung. It's on the Optimator wall.

Thanks Big Mike, but I do not dispair over climbing not being posted much on a climbing site kinda more find humor in it. Dispair derives from not actually climbing enough. One day in three weeks, oh the horror. By the way you have been posting up a lot of great stuff lately. I gotta get to Squammish someday, but not sure they will let me in.

Mike- I feel your pain, I had quite a long drought before my Skaha trip and will be limited to plastic very soon. My increase in posting is directly related to a decrease in climbing :)
Thanks for the compliment. Your images of the black hills have inspired me to visit there too! If you ever do make it north again drop me a line I'd be happy to tie in with you.

Going through my photos today I found some images from my trip to the New!

Yes Big Mike, Cream of White Mice. Since it was busy that was the day we discovered that Bullethead East had been cleaned up. It was a more than fair trade, with the minor drawback that we were better equipped for bolts than cracks.
A good picture of Snake, too!

My buddy Regie on a bad ass lead of the first pitch of of the Goldstone Kamps on Spire 4 in the Cathedral Spires in the Needles of the Black Hills of South Dakota. It had some really slimey really stout 5.8 section that rarely gets lead. I got the gravey of a full pitch of 5.7 with some very fun old school offwidthing on bomber rock. This is probably one of the longest routes in the Needles that does not Traverse.Nice view on top.

MH2- Bullethead east is a gem indeed. Dirty Harry did lots of good work there this past spring.

Tami- You bring up a excellent point.
KM says "Scramble up through the bush on a rough trail, about 50m left of Slot Machine to the base of a rocky gully. This was the original start, deep in the challengingly wet and adventurous chasm (.9). A better alternative is to walk 20m down to the left and around the corner until it is possible to pull up a steep cedar grove."
Is this correct? Did you guys start on the right? The bolted part looks to be mostly on the new start. Are you saying you guys didn't place any bolts at all? It is possible RB did some work on CWM this spring when he was cleaning some of his projects in the area.
