A nice way to enter the canyon is a fairly obvious 3rd class ledge skirting the base of Liberty Cap. It gets high enough that you kind of wonder if it connects back to the ground.

I've hung out in the canyon a fair amount. I remember that exact patch of rock we calling the scoops. It's beautiful.
I don't think the scoops go anywhere, and if they did, it might be a shame to bolt it.

One lifetime is simply not enough to wander the creation, to meet and enjoy the folk that wander also.

Reading this tonight and it seems to fit the Thread.
"The true mountaineer is a wanderer, and by a wanderer I do not mean a man who expends his whole time in travelling to and fro in the mountains on the exact tracks of his predecessors...but I mean a man who loves to be where no human being has been before, who delights in gripping rocks that have previously never felt the touch of human fingers..."
"The gaunt, bare slabs, the square, precipitous steps in the ridge, and the black, bulging ice of the gully, are the very breath of life to his being. I do not pretend to be able to analyse this feeling, still less to be able to make it clear to unbelievers. It must be felt to be understood, but it is potent to happiness and sends the blood tingling through the veins, destroying every trace of cynicism and striking at the very roots of pessimistic philosophy."
A.F. Mummery as quoted in "Everest the West Ridge" by Thomas F. Hornbein.

Mummery was a fully-realized climber, an anchorite.
Thanks for the quotes Lynne. Sounds like you got inspired at the AAC gathering.

Didn't get to attend, Steve. Wish I could have.
Reading Mummery's words, especially the last several sentences, made me realize it's so much how I feel when I get off into the meadows, streams, lakes, hills, and mountains of the Sierra, Eastside.
Peter's pictures made an even greater impression on my heart and soul.

Peter,
Any information on the climb to the left of the lightning bolt crack. I would like to go up there in the next couple of weeks and check out these routes. Lightning crack beta, gear? etc.
Thanks,
Christina
