How about a Calendar Wall beer and trail fest? A good chance for some of us to check out the crag, have some fun, do some light trail maintenance, climb some old shit and meet? I would be up for spending a day out there rain or shine.

Calendar is not a waste of time or a pile of dook. It IS a bit obscure and not a huge area as well as a little out of the way but I have had good times there and there are still good times to be had. I am going to try and copy my buddies Fox Guide this weekend. It has been years since I have been out there....maybe there will be a renaissance?

I have access to said book and for 10 dollars per submission I will discuss whether or not a route idea is previously established or not. I here what your saying Shapp and mostly agree, but alas I get bored and feel the need for rabblerousing on occasion.

yes, but he has the "big green book" Isn't Rod down in the desert somewhere cataloging trash or some such thing these days? I would say that if you wanted to get technical about it one should consult Pig Pen, Ken Strong or Smedley about routes, in Rods absence, as those guys are primarily responsible for the scrubbing and cleaning of "Calendar Butte" after being recruited by Fox. Then again it is DNR land so no one REALLY needs to ask permission of anyone.

Well then Ivan you must come up North and consume massive quantities and do some climbing with my crew!

Yeah Boner STFU.

There were people out there messing around on Calendar Wall even before Rod Fox. If entering from the gate at the access to the Walker Valley trails it is even a closer walk than the Bald Thimble as we used to refer to it.

Right on Dew! Most importantly is that you are feeling the results and can build on this success! This has been very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your experience and again, keep up the good work!

Already have that one.

That's okay because I really had my eye on "The Tallest Tree".

The fact that you have this laid out with childrens books is at the same time encouraging and depressing.

Interesting.Thanks mkporwit.

Fixed link - redirected to main page. I would be interested in seeing the BD results. I am with you on the Western Gear, but for the price I had to ask around. As I type this however the voice in my head is saying "is your pro whewre you want to save a few bucks?????" - Probably not.

Curious if anyone has any experience with these or knows anything about the testing or reliability of this stuff - http://www.gear4rocks.com/ or

Now we both know that is none of your business......but,yes.

G-spotter you are a freaking genius! I am on hold with the Clown Oil company as I type this! I think my first order of business is going to be fashioning a Clown Oil banana hammock for my premier photo shoot!

Then I offer my most humble apologies for misquoting you.

Aw c'mon it's Alize....sheesh. That is of course unless you are talking about anti allergen laundry detergent...which could be good as well.

Aw c'mon it's Alize....sheesh.

"is my new hero" ???

I do! PM me!

Wow! No kidding. That was the odd thing is that the valley does have an incredibly wild feel to it and then to find that as the only sign of people was strange. I saw not even the scrap of a balloon in that area. Pretty freaking nice. Thanks for the info Darin, that is very interesting.

No roads......creek seems to small to float logs and the side of the valley where the cables are is 99% talus. This is a good mystery.

Went to explore Green Creek Valley last weekend and look at Berdinkas Mythic Wall. After gaining access into the valley and starting to traverse toward the Mythic Wall I came across three cables running from the valley wall down towards the creek bed. Now, I am curious as to what the cables are there for as I saw no real evidence of tailings at the site and there is no real road or trail to the point in the creek. I scrambled up a way to investigate but got sidetracked and never found the terminus at either end. Does anyone know about these? Darin? Did you notice them? Anyone?
