Spooky climb. Like the whole thing will start peeling away and fall down the talus. There's a few climbs like that on the Pass where they have spook factor 10. I'd have to check my notes whether I lead that day or if we let Evan or Chriz lead. Unique climb to climbe the ends of the columns to be sure.

oh, and take this SPH stuff to the Sonorapass site. sheesh, talk about off topic.

Hold it, hold it. Loose rock, peeling away. How doesn't THAT belong on a Pinns forum?

Cools pics, that is one photogenic climb.

Item 7a in my "Father, adult male," job description reads: "Wait eagerly until child enters teen years. Embarrass thereafter liberally."

We used to do a kids backpacking trip every summer with Jim and his family. From the 1999 trip I present a photo of one Katherine (Katie) Young, now a teenager, then a naked baby:

A few other favorites from the same trip:

Hiking out with Jim's second-to-youngest:

Later in the same year, Katie (yes, Katie, not Tricia) at Herring Creek Dome (age four):

Then, from October, 1999, photos from the first ascent of a Burst Rock area, three star classic, 5.10d, Three Days On (I named two adjacent three star routes here in honor of my good friend Dave Harden. At the time he was a firefighter. We learned to climb around his schedule of three days on and four days off):

Very few left to post from this round of 300 slides. Most or all of the few coming are of our favorite winter place to climb. Maybe a few of our favorite bit of munge.

OK, you're right. I'm just used to posting here, and most folks who are on one are on both. But there is no excuse, many of these make up some of the history of climbing on SPH (yeah? I may be old, but you're also old enough to have made history there too). I will, once I finish with this set, cross post to SPH.

Warning: Site usage patterns are subject to seasonal migrations.
SPH will be back in four months.

mynameismud · « **Reply #52 on:** February 11, 2011, 08:36:50 PM »

Very true, I have looked at statics of both site. Very similar, but with different seasons.

Brad Young · « **Reply #53 on:** February 11, 2011, 10:20:33 PM »

Atom: SPH will be back in closer to two months. By mid April things normally start busting loose up the pass (and Salsa's B&B starts its annual climbing traffic).

BTW, if you haven't climbed much up here, you really should see the second edition route list and in-progress book. Given what you've been up to at Pinns you'd likely find the Lost World very nice. Many, many, very hard, clean, excellent routes. Other areas too. In many ways, climbing here is almost as fun as climbing at Pinns.

Last few from this set of scans.

Leading Rock Naked, December, 1999:

Rob leading the first pitch of Condor Condiment, during the same trip:

Kinda dark, but me belaying as Rob leads the original third pitch to Condor Condiment:

That's it for this set of slides. I'll eventually have the remaining 500 slides scanned, but it'll be a while.

oh nice. who took those shots?

mynameismud · « **Reply #56 on:** February 12, 2011, 12:57:38 PM »

Thankfully he is wearing cloths. Although that seems wrong for that route.

mungeclimber · « **Reply #57 on:** February 12, 2011, 02:38:29 PM »

did the corner to the right of rock naked ever get done?

mynameismud · « **Reply #58 on:** February 12, 2011, 07:40:26 PM »

Not that I know of.

Brad Young · « **Reply #59 on:** February 12, 2011, 09:20:14 PM »

The photos were taken by the third climber with us, Brinton McCusker. He hadn't been climbing much and was totally wiped out tired and stayed on the ground when we did Condor. Do you remember a few days before when a hold broke and he held me on a lead fall out on Knuckle Ridge? He caught the fall and then had such a look of disbelief that the system had worked that we started laughing at him. After you took off that trip, he and I did Feather Canyon.
