You're going to have an awesome time. But be sure to check out the French Fire road and trail closures around the southeastern part of Shuteye here: http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4013/.
To balance out that bummer, here's a little extra stokage for you.

That place looks way too cool. So jelous. I am a thousand miles away and if I could go to only one place in CA this looks like it might make the cut.

Thanks for the stoke all !
The fires are a concern. We are flexible and just want to climb.
Hopefully the fire situation will let us get there ?
Micronut.... e-mail sent
Again, looking forward to meeting any of you that might be in
the area. Also plan on Fresno dome and the Balls.

The locals can probably give you better info than I can, but piecing together the FD report and the guidebook it looks like right now all the roads on the east side are closed, but the entire western flank of the ridge is still open. That will give you plenty of room to play. Plus there's still a week for them to start opening roads back up (which I hope they do soon because I have a week off and want to check out the conditions of the Eagle Beaks-it looks like the fire got close, but didn't run all the way up to them).

Minarets from North Fork may still be closed...lots of tree removal underway after the fire.
Eagles Beak area may have some big dozer cuts at the base...heard the BAER teams will be backfilling a lot of break lines over the next month.
Beasore is kinda open...at least to the meadow but watch for heavy fire equipment still moving up and down Beasore road itself.
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln...enjoy the play.

Tuolumne and Shuteye are tied, in my book, for best sh#t out there....
And they are both very different. But they both have the best quality IMO. Tuolumne is mostly slab/smear focused where Shuteye is crimpers.

Closed signs came down tonight on Grizzly Road at the Beasore Meadows turnoff. You should be good to go from the Bass Lake side. Not sure if Jone's Store is back up and running.
Still waiting for a current report from the Minarets side - but since even Mile High got nuked - it may be a while from that direction.

Saw the guidebook just recently and very well done. The place looks great. Only issue is driving from Reno I have to drive through Toulumne and the Valley and somehow the magnitizism of those two areas always stops me. Looks like a great place to be secluded. Enjoy and post some pictures.

Shuteye and the Valley are equidistant from my home, but I've been choosing Shuteye more and more recently. Yosemite's the undisputed King of Bigwall, but for phenomenal climbing in utter solitude, Shuteye can't be beat, thanks to its big brother to the north drawing all the crowds.

So I am going to Shuteye for the first time and would love to climb on lots of plates. I need routes in the 5.8 to 5.11b range. Where would be the best places to go for this? Thanks for any input!

Gray Eagle area. High Eagle and 557's would be good too.

Trust Justin, his recommendations are good, and he is certainly more travelled than I am, but LE will also fit your bill, if shorter cragging (1-2 pitches) is desirable. Heavier on the moderates perhaps than 557s. Dreamscape also comes to mind, and has more plates than a china shop.
