Matt, I sent you an email. Thanks for the links.

I just moved here in the spring and wondered what was happenning in the Middle Fork. I knew *something* was happenning, but did not want to poke into something that was already being handled and muck it all up. I have worked with the feds before on access issues (caves, mostly, but the interactions are the same) and would like to help. Just point me in the right direction.

I have used the Ecrin for years caving -- 24-30 hour trips with a helmet on (and headlamp). You can't beat the comfort, safety, and versatility. It is cooler than the helmets of yore. I have the elios for light-duty, but cannot comment on it.

No, I mean the lower crag, climber's left (west) of Infinite Bliss, not too far from the base. Maybe 200 feet high. Thanks for the help on Fee Demo.

Thanks for the tips. Sheesh. I would have never figured that was Fee Demo. I'll figure it all out eventually. What about that cliff on the lower, west end of Garfield?

I moved here this summer and am still learning a lot about the area. I surrendered my 30 years of eastern climbing for a good change of venue... I noted some granite slabs across the Middle Fork from Mt Garfield, on what I believe is called Stagasaurus Butte. These are heavily bolted friction slabs, and I was wondering if anyone can direct me to where I can get some info on these. I am into exploring as much as the next person, but did not know if this stuff was worthwhile or not. And what about the lower cliffs on Mt Garfield (to the west of infinite Bliss)?
