I can't wait to give the Dept of Justice the Bunny Ranches phone number in case we are disconnected during our calls! Ha!!
I hope they don't get it mixed up with the Moonlight Bunny Ranch #. :-)

Candyland and Steppin' Stone at Phantom Spires are true classics. There's a less visited area called Wright's Lake a few miles past Phantom Spires, if you're interested in getting off the beaten path. however, if you've never climbed at the Leap, I'd definitely go there first, it has many great routes, and some fun bouldering near the camp, too.

Air quality was good yesterday, slight breeze, a little hazy now and then. This morning is breezy with clear blue skies...

Just go across the road to Strawberry Station when they open in the morning, fire pit and chairs on the side, Squirrel and Mrs Squirrel inside... go inside, ask for climbing partners. .. also pick up a really great photo of LL with the routes on it.

Today, because poor BrassNuts is climbing with his sport-wanker wife, we turned the volumne down and did the first pitch of Traveler Buttress then went right and did Corrugation Corner. Yeah - that was no sport route or face climb either! haha! The wide flaring beasty section of Traveler Buttress was cruel, but other than that, I passed as a hardman trad climber for the rest of the route. :) Fun day and all new pitches for both of us. Hardly anyone around either. It's really beautiful here. :)
Other than an exciting conference call tomorrow, not sure what we'll do.

If you are into hiking and/or trails, a walk or run up Mt Tallac offers excellent views of surrounding areas, including of course Lake Tahoe to the East and Desolation Wilderness to the West. Trailhead is just north of Camp Richardson. Trail is well kept, akin to the Tahoe Rim Trail or climbing approach trails in Tuolumne. A run is about 1 hr 30 to the top. Have fun!
