Sending temps^^^^^


Stretched my old man legs on a little exploratory hike on Christmas day - found some gems that probably don't get as much traffic as the main hill. Feel free to chime in on these babies.

I've never been over south of the 67, looks like some nice cracks way up on the hill. Above and left of the #10? Just to the right and below of the #10, looks like 2 or three distinct cracks on that thing.



This thing looks almost, if not, impossible

Bvb, et al, can give you a better history on the "Mt. Everest" boulder, below and right of the #10 (when did that get there?!). There's four fractures on that face, left end 5.10c, left center "Sineater" 5.12+, right center 5.10, right end 5.11? OW (not visible). There's some moderate, and bold, hard bolted leads up above that boulder!

The triangular slab just above and right of the Mt Everest boulder has this 5.8, 3-4 bolt problem, with a spicy, two move 5.10 finish up the vertical summit:

Thanks. Heading there this morning with a motley crew, might sneak over to the Everest area after Rex if we have time. Chilly!

LT...You familiar with the location of Laverne and Shirley? Spend a day on a trail that now follows the ridge that ascends west to east towards the summit of Mt. Everest (locate an obvious pullout on the south side of 67 soon after it bends around east and runs past the Rex/Rhodes area). I was given a partial tour and I have to say there's some quality routes up there...PHD length problems! Henny, Johanne, these have your names all over them! I would love to hear someone elses feedback.

Pullout is at the bottom left:

I'm not, but I'm loving the exploration around Woodson. Worked the fingers on Cat Crack today, such a fantastic climb. The other climbs in the area were pretty nice as well.

TD, the Everest Boulder was something else. We were too tired from rexrode fun and the bushwhack up to Everest, so we just looked around and made a wish list for next time. Also found the proper trail on the way out. My buddy had his eye on Soylent green or something like that, which I think is the bolted slab climb you're talking about. Right or left side in on that .11 OW?

The start of the trail up to Mt Everest used to get a lot of poison oak, which might be hard to see this time of year, so watch out or use a wash like Technu if you're not sure.
Same thing with some areas around the north side of Woodson.
A good aid practice at Woodson is Sineater, set up belay just below the top, then pendulum over to the 5.8 crack.
Does anyone have the old aid route guide to Woodson from 20 years ago?

Someone added lead bolts to an already established TR next to the road at the Poison Oak area. They did not even paint the hangers or chains. The bolts will be chopped and the holes patched.

Nice work LT! Way to dg out those gems.

I need to try that Technu; comes highly recommended but I'll have to find out how it works myself. Poison oak sensitive I am.

Jay leading Rexrodes Inn the other day. Best I could do with the camera phone.

Which TR were the bolts added to, anything of note?

Hope it isn't one of the classics in the Big Grunt area.
