Hey All,
Anybody have any info on climbing in Little Yosemite Valley? Any routes? History? Cascade Cliffs? Bunnell Point?

Thanks,

I did not know LYV got torched that bad. This fire crap sure sucks.
edit: poodle dog bushes like it though.

More info and stories and pictures! Looks like an awesome escape from the crowds into a beautiful area.

Thread drift, but man that scorched earth picture is sad. I feel like that's part of California's future for the next few decades. I still have a hard time driving along Angeles Crest Highway even though the Station Fire was years ago. Never be the same in my lifetime.

Not all of LYV looks like that. Fire is nature's way of clearing out the old to get ready for the new!

Greg,
I doubt anything has changed on Golden Bear - the topo should be good.
Photos and maps on this thread:

The E face of Bunnell Point is on the left half of this photo.
On the right is the E face of Sugarloaf Dome.
The climbing routes like Golden Bear are on the SW face of Bunnell point - in shadow/profile in this photo.

Peter Coward and I did Golden Bear on Bunnell Point last weekend. Topo posted in earlier threads is pretty accurate. Got off route along the middle traversing pitches but rejoined a few pitches higher. Great route but I don't think any of the bolts on the route would hold a fall at this point - really old and rusted. Every bolt needs to be replaced. Very scenic back there.

Cool.
Was this overlay guess about right?
Did you also look for the other route (on the right dike)?

Know someone who was working on a ground-up hand-drilled FA in Little Yosemite Valley just last week. Not finished yet I take it, but will be soon.
