so Jay, was the photo with Alobar w/ frisbee in the mouth the one time he was not barking while awake?

Klondyke is the wall near safford, an ultra steep version of Granite mountain. There is more rock in the range (santa teresas) than Joshua Tree but takes hours to get to any of it.

to all the others, 99% of my stuff is on slides and I have nothing cool to post.

Clearly Rick remembers Alobar (first dog in the Labyrinth).

Tar - A comparison for ya...

Granite Mountain is a world class area, with wonderful rock, awesome cracks and gorgeous natural lines up to around 450 feet. Only open between July 15th and Feb. 1st each year because of falcon nesting bans. It was even named one of the top ten crags in the US in an issue of Mountain Magazine (1985?).

The Superstitions are world class desert beautiful, with roaring silence, questionable rock (most places), 30+ year old bolts, and adventure climbing up to five pitches or so. Open year round. Bolting absolutely prohibited.

Not pimping either place too hard as I love climbing in either for somewhat different reasons. I'd give you the tour of either place. Come on down!

J-brah: I have a much closer shot of that offwidth, although drawing the line at actually having been in it yet.
