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.

we were hoping to get to Big Sleep area last week but roads were closed...

silver lining there is we were forced to check out 'new' areas.

...so much to explore up at Shuteye - truly a wild and beautiful place.


here's a lil' video TR: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8JG7mHbZCk&list=UUN_xIr0E7H7dYop4ph3ziBg

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.

Anyone know if roads 7S02 & 7S02H off Mammoth Pool Rd are open? Trying to get over to Big Sleep & Milky Way wall.

Unfortunately I believe the entire southeastern half of Shuteye is still closed: http://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/sierra/alerts-notices/?aid=24683 I've been watching that link because as soon as it gets lifted I want to make a break out there, too.

Thanks, skcreidc. Yeah, the textures there really are mind-blowing.
