But Dan, did the "climber" actually move. That could be telling. (Though those pesky climbers have occasionally been known to become immobile for long periods of time...)
"First Ascent as Far As I Can Be Sure" (FAFAICBS) or
"First Recorded Ascent Unless Royal's Notes Can Be Deciphered And Prove Otherwise, OR Becky Wasn't Actually There First" (FRAURNCBDAPOOBWATF) might be more commonly used these days. At least that's what I'm sticking with for now.

Unrelated, but I was in the neighborhood this weekend. Took my five year old and nine year old out of The Norris Trailhead, just past The Balls. Awesome time. Got a bit of rain, some sunsets, some trout and some priceless memories with me boys. Just proves you don't gotta be on the sharp end to enjoy SoYo.

Priceless memories, and some fine photos to boot!
TFPU.
Must say all the other photos shared are great, and the balancing mushroom rock is awesome, Tork.

Nate,
The climber moved very slowly, if at all and then disappeared completely!!
Kev-
Book of Revelations is great - especially if you like well protected, moderate climbing like I do. The approach isn't so bad. The west, gully approach takes you to the base of the main face and we have it marked where to leave the trial with a cairn. The other way from the east, start near the bridge at Bowler and walk up slabs then some bushwhacking - bring clippers.
Micronut-
I used to take my little ones up that trail - 15+ years ago.

Micronut-
My kids at Norris Lake one June 15+ years ago. They insisted on going swimming even though the mosquitoes were bad and there were snow banks in the lake. This is as far as they got.
She's in her last year at UCSB now and he's in his second year at SFSU.

Balloon Dome, proposed route name is Buffoon Dome. 4 days car to car. I lost 1 pound per day.
John & Sue, we got your note but looked everywhere for the cooler of iced beer and couldn't find it. We would be happy to send you some info via email.
Going light, I only took one shirt. Last night I had to get up at 12:30 and shoot that t-shirt when it tried to raid the kitchen.
I think Bob will eventually produce a TR. Wait for it.
