Dave Turner is about 3/4 up a new line on Porcelain Wall with another guy named Matt. Chatted with them after Dave's 10 hour lead through the big roof...sounds wild!
Ammons fixing on something burly...not sure if I should spray about it here yet.

Don't post yet!
I'm flying out tonight to join Ammon on the route.
There will be plenty of details after the weekend.

Lambone don't spray what Am's doing. I know what he's up to as well, but let the masses find out about it from him once he sends it. It's a proud route for his 50th trip up the big stone.

Dirt, if they've got some nasty A4/A5 pitches, they're proud.

Whatever it may be, have fun up there, Ammon and Cheryl!!!
“Dave Turner is about 3/4 up a new line on Porcelain Wall…”
Yes, I’ve heard rumor of this ascent. Are Nick and Aaron also up on the P-Wall? Seems strange that someone could find another new line to do on such a blank wall. I am interested to hear what’s new… and to see a topo…

"Are Nick and Aaron also up on the P-Wall?"
Last I heard they were soloing routes next to each other. One of them was one of yours/EK's. I can't remember the name of the other one. I wanna say it was When Hell was in Session but I'm not 100% sure about that. But they're probably done with them by now.

Nick and Aaron both got off of the porcelain wall like a week or something ago, last time I talked to Aaron he was heading off to send some stuff on the dome with his cousin i believe...

It's only blank, if you don't have the right eyes. A good eye and some good skills = new line.
This has been the history of walls in Yosemite, and elsewhere.
Those with the vision go right up. And the rest of us stare from the ground, far below, in wonderment: "How in the . . . . . ?"

Minerals,
I belive your route was soloed by Arron a few weeks ago. Nick did the first second of the Klaus/Takeda route, also solo....
Dave said he is doing his best to follow natural features and their goal is to keep the hole count less then 100. Klaus's route had over 150 I believe. He wanted to be off by Sunday...
"Matt, what are you up to?"
we spent 9 days on South Seas->PO. It was super fun chill wallin, lots of beer, hot coffee in the AM, never left the bivi before 11, rest day on the Island...awesome route!
Brook on belay detail, "Rubber Band Man" pitch. Which we were bummed to find out didn't require the rubber band technique at all... :(

So, rivets cure blindness…??? That would make sense, considering that vision cures rivets…
Harding must have been blind, because he drilled up the most blank face that I have seen on that wall…
How much time have you spent scoping the Porcelain, Tom?
Thanks for the reply, Lambone! Did Aaron have fun? What did Nick think?
Good work on the SS!
