I camped at the base of The Balls one time, and we did a couple of ascents. No bolts, so I wasn't sure if they are FAs or not, but one was pretty spicy, and loads of fun!

The campground right there is pretty remote and it was quite as all get out. Not sure what it's like now, some three decades later.

Looking at this thread, I think we did the route up the main face of Nightwatch, goes right up the center of the shield shown in the picture:

I've climbed there a ton. I really like The West Face 5.7 (3 nice long pitches) of The Golden Toad. Check out this video above of a quick door to door ascent several years back.

stoke rising...

hunters and meth heads are status quo: I'm a West Virginia hillbilly; they won't pose any problems. i assure you I'm better armed and a far better shot
