Backcountrydog, I guess my post came across as I personally have a problem with the bolt, which I don't. It seemed warranted and well located. I was just answering the "what's the problem" question everyone was asking or at least what I think the OP is getting at.

I think the new bolt on the bottom is the problem.

The low spot is still there. I couldn't tell if they fixed it or if it's smoothing out from traffic, but it didn't seem to bad. There was no water running over the road except at the paved creek.

Builder - that low spot didn't seem to be too bad. I'm pretty sure you could get by it with a 2wd no problem. We didn't drive up to Exfoliation Dome. We were able to get a 1/2 mile past the 3:00 TH, but I was willing to drag branches down the side of my car and drive over some shit. Dreamer was climbable yesterday, with a few small water streaks here and there. A little bit of snow remained in the gully up to the rock. Anyone know when the last time the road past the 3:00 TH was cleared? It seems to be in pretty good shape otherwise. Needtoclimb- I think you forgot your dog bowl at the TH. We were going to grab it, but figured someone might be back for it.

I hope it doesn't handle like its license plate.

Yeah, you'll notice everyone covering their ears as you drive by.

A lot of nice bivy sites at the notch on the ridge. When I climbed it I used aluminum crampons on my approach shoes and that was fine. You probably want rock shoes for the gendarme.

That's what I got out of it.

Sorry, I couldn't resist it.

So which section of craigslist does this go under?

Seems like the least he could do after dropping his partner.

Yeah, just look at what he did to this rattlesnake. You could be next. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAO5Eycer6c

Developed hot springs in Almo. FYI, they are not open on Sundays.

5 hrs to Red Rock? It's more like 1h 15m. Virgin River Gorge is right there. St. George is 30 min. There is a lot of new route development in the Mesquite area as well.

I use one of those. It works well, but has a couple of issues. First, when using an ATC the wire loop hangs far enough down that it hits the plastic and can be annoying. It's annoying to keep opening and closing when you are doing multiple rappels, so I just take it off and put it my pocket. Also, I had the plastic pop off when it was open and lost it. I called DMM and they wanted $7 for a new piece of plastic. I told them they were out of their minds and luckily I found another one on a climb in Red Rocks.

Where'd you fall in a crevasse at?

Maybe the problem is that he loved her too much.

When are you going? I know Jackson had a big snow year. My guess is that there is probably even more snow in the cirque. Your approach might even be longer down there than normal. If I were you I'd call the Jenny Lake ranger station just before going and see what they say about the upper exum. They have the most up to date conditions from people who have actually been on the mountain and are extremely helpful. You could try some lower elevation stuff like Symmetry Spire as well.

Too bad United sucks ass.

Is that where your name came from?

Here is a list of climbs by rating from Clint Cummins web site. http://www.stanford.edu/~clint/index/rating1.gif Also, Rattletale looks pretty good.

Plum Pudding on the mid wall.

Look at the title.

I can add some more puke and banana photos if you'd like.
