The Trail is in great shape compared to last year. It has some tree debris halfway up the big steep hill but the lower trail is manicured great. Thanks to who ever is doing that service for us all. Last year the trail was hammered in many places. There is snow at the top of the steep hill too, so make sure you stay on the trail on the way down. It is a bit muddy too right now, so take it easy on it. Up high, It will take a while for the snow to pack down, and it will have a bunch of "Holes" as it melts off, so watch for those bastards too. Also, up high, expect wet slide and snow block calving conditions for the next few weeks too.

We stayed on the Selected route except for the way don we skied dow into the drainage and regained the trail when the snow line was reached. The views where crazy and the spring corn was great , though icy at the top, WHY CANT I LOAD PHOTOS??????

Thanks, the trip is now done. 3 weeks of sampling the best of 7 incredible rock-climbing meccas in the central west states Areas we hit: City Of Rocks Castle Rocks Ibex Castleton Tower Above: a rare siting of a Civet Cat at the base bivy. Indian creek- 3 days of amazing crack climbing! The Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Scenic Cruise and Casual Off-Route Direct Maple Canyon with Mile Layton . I have a blow-by-blow on the blog below

Hope they find the missing climber Thanks to the rescuers and rangers for getting the other climbers dug out and home safe.

Nice to add another to the list, thanks. We did Dreamer on our collective 7th try while in sporadic showers. Even slabs can be done in such conditions!wow

Trip: Road Trippn' USA! - Date: 5/16/2010 Trip Report: Beau and I are on the road, hitting the great climbing areas through Idaho, and now in Utah. We spent 5 great days at City of Rocks and Castle Rock, soaking up 20+ amazing pitches in the 5.10 and .11 range. We stuck to the "Three Star" rating as well, bagging such amazing classics as High Road. Incisor, and Comp Splitter, Twinkie and Honeymoon in Almo were staggering too. We are now headed to Ibex and through the south deserts of Utah after that so stay tuned to the blog below, Tried to upload pics- fail, will try later

Wow, brave march up there! So is that the McGown route or the standard?

The block could have been taken out by a hydraulic jack. A friend of mine did that often in Oregon.

OMG OW you are priceless

Wow, Nice tr. I have done the finish crux, but the whole thing looks wild. Thanks
