Bumper belay is a thing!?!?! I've never tried so I figured if you could climb something car to car in a day it's roadside. Maybe even Castle Rock Spire. Hehe

Got to visit Danland yesterday. Phenomenal day in t-shirt weather. Got in a few quality routes like Crack-N-Up chimney and Sky Walker to name a few.
But I gotta admit, what I was most impressed about the place was the approach trail. I mean this thing was a serious work of art!

Ha! Ya, believe it or not, that trail was made without the use of any hand tools because they're sticking to the rules in the park. Purely dragging their feet, with some raking after the leaves fall.

Just updated Danland with a few new topos and the route descriptions people have been asking for. Route descriptions are a separate document available to download.

Also, Rene (Radish) has a stash of great pictures of the area he'll be posting on his blog soon, so check that out every so often if you're interested.

It's climbable in the winter!

Spectacular year round crag that's getting some traffic these days. Nice location and close to town. Thanks for putting the info up Daniel....

I'm going to start adding a few climbs for Kings Canyon while we await the eventual completion of a guide for Yosemite's forgotten sibling.

Here's North Sentinel, outstanding crack climbing. First draft at least, I'm sure it'll be tweaked before the road opens this year.

Thanks.

North Sentinel would be about where the route names are in your pic. You can see grand Sentinel in the background of my approach pic.

I've got a few crack trad climbs up for Kings Canyon, so now here are some TR, sport and face climbs up while we wait for an update on the guidebook.

Brand new 5.11a, safe, mostly bolt protected 1,200 ft route up a marble face by the road in California? Yes please.

Yup, he and Brandon started it, then Brandon returned to finish it with Sean if I remember correctly. Wish I would have been able to meet Chris, he sounds like he was a great guy to be in the mountains with.

Hey limping.... is the MMMM climb south facing? When is the best time to climb it? Looks to be just what im looking for, a nice day out in the mountains without a 15 mile hike.

Ross... when do you think the Scenic Byway will be open?? I needs a Shuteye fix... badly.
