Well I'm free the rest of this week after Tuesday (and I kinda want to get on something wide tomorrow) so if the weather works out and you want to get out, let me know.
Mike, if you want to get some up close shots on Wild Turkey, I got enough static line to reach from the top of the Bulletheads down to the campground ;)

In the interest of chest beating, and cause Ryan put a picture up of it, I got my name in a guidebook (update)

Here's a shot from the apex point on the FA

I can agree with the photos I see in this thread....

You all have every right to be snobs about your granite and thumb your noses at the Basalt and Limestone tarts/lessers out there.

Chuck Pratt once described a rope as "sort of virginal". When asked to elaborate, he said "It hasn't been used on granite yet".

Nice one of Candyland, drljefe!

Best single crag I've ever climbed at (includes Britain, Tahquitz, Suicide, and the Valley).

Granite Mountain, Prescott, Arizona. Highly recommended. Has everything. Be aware the older routes have old school ratings.

Admiration for the Squamish guidebook celebrities.

Granite Mountain is a heart-palpitating temple of granite.
