Man, wish I didn't have to work. I'd love to meet you all and see your reactions to the place. Danland is a great and new crag! Been there alot and Dan and Larry have put up some fine climbing there! Good trail too. I'll be just over the hill in Seki waiting for fire, or watching the rain. Should be a cool and nice day to be out there. Everyday in Danland is a good day..........Enjoy!!

Munge, I'm bringing my 99 cent pancho, Californians aren't scared of weather!
Rene, I'll start a little fire at the Rock so you can have an excuse to come say hi
From my house it looks like Moro is getting dumped on and Black Kaweah has some freshies, ha!

Great day on Saturday! The weather turned out to be perfect, a little thunder with sprinkles in the early afternoon but nothing more so we stayed as long as we wanted.
There were about 10 of us and it was fun being the bottom of barrel and getting to watch and learn from the masters! It was also motivation to get better for the summer season. I spent most of the time with Vitaliy and Elaina and once I was too tired to continue I watched Elaina style a 5.12a route. Levy made everything he climbed looked easy, even when he and Dan (yes, there were three Dans there) linked both pitches of the DZ Arete (11b) with ease. Dan D (of Danland fame) and Larry Zulim were excellent tour guides and hosts. I got to spend time with Guyman hearing stories of the Gorge of Despair and other southern sierra adventures. Johob and a seasonal employee named Gabe also showed up to hang out and climb.
The only bummer was that everyone didn't get to hang out very much because it was only a one day trip and we were all too busy climbing. We never even made it to the right side of the formation where the rock quality improves. 10 people climbing in Sequoia at once must be some sort of record :)

Hey Daniel, it was good to meet you and thanks for organizing the day. Larry & Dan were wonderful hosts, they provided tons of information and were supportive and fun to be around.
Watching Elaine hike Lizard Run, 5.12, was impressive, good technique was needed and she delivered the goods. Gabe was super psyched as was Brendan too. I look forward to another visit when it cools down.

Danland was very cool and a nice addition for the locals. Now they have some really really nice crack climbs... RaceCrack is worth the trip....
Really nice trail, cut through some nasty PO. With tons of wildlife, I saw a Salamander... sort of purple in color and a snake.... King Snake???? "red touches white touches black" ... I forget but I wasn't going to pet the thing.
And hard slab...Lizards Run goes at 12 I was reminded of some of the hard stuff found at Courtright. Elaina made that 12 look like 5.8..... Kids today!
We all had a good time, it was fun to meet some Tacos and some new faces also....
Thank you for putting this together.
