So the last few trips to the A-hills I have noticed some new routes in the corridors, and some corridors past the candy store have climbs as well. Does anyone know what the grades and or names of these climbs are?

That place looks so cool. I stopped by on my way back from Tuolumne and the first boulder I touched, I sliced my finger on a quartz crystal.
Is there any rock there that isn't 30 grit?

lol what a PILE.. but for the 5.6 thru 10b climber it's Disney Land.. 11 and up the Chisel comes out, holds are bloody painful, choss city. I have climbed many routes mostly 10+ and up and one 13a Mufusa! will not be going back.
Last time I was there, this drunk dude was rapping off this low angle slab 2 pitch deal from the second to the first, but the rope was stuck because he ran the rope directly thru the bolt hangers, he tried to swing over to a ledge on the right but popped off the end of his rope, fell 50+ feet to the dirt. His partner was stuck on top of the first pitch!! Rope stuck on the second. People were climbing all around these guys, no one came to help!!! The guy stuck at the anchor was SCREAMING for help, everyone just kept climbing, I was 300 yards away topping out and saw his fall, yelled down to my gal and said "I think I just saw a climber DIE" anyway we packed up and drove over to the accident scene, and stabilized the fall victim, very combative while death gurgles were emanating from his throat, It was unreal, called 911 as well, I could smell the nasty Alcohol on his breath, but the EMT said drinking may of caused the accident, but it also saved his life, due to being relaxed and limp when he fell. Also it's not the first accident i have witnessed at the A Hills.
Enough said

I think with a 70 metre rope you could prolly clip the first bolt on all the routes in the corridor. How cool would that be?

Easy routes everywhere, mostly brings in the gym crowd and these i wanna climb but not seriously crowd! Easy access, no real skills needed for anchors, creates a false sense of security!

Burch, over time I'm warming up to your sense of humor. That mummy thing was pretty funny.
Is this thread filled with "those are not the droids you are looking for" type of responses?
Cosmic, that was a picture of Gumby playing on bolders at the base of Lembert Dome.

That's, The Shark's Fin Arete, and the FA wasn't put up in 2015.
Maybe you posted the wrong pic. Your sarcasmometer is malfunctioning.
And the Lives of Cowboys thing was in response to this upthread a bit
