Back in the mid 90's I spent a significant amount of time exploring some walls around that area. My main area of interest at the time was Split Rock and then Calendar Wall, but I did eye the face of which you speak and discussed it with a former partner named Bruce Bauer who said he had done some exploring on it. I doubt it is virgin but I am sure there is new route potential.

I was thinking about just trimming the peeled tab off to eliminate it getting caught on something and pulling more of the sole away. Then again I could plaster it with some shoe-goo. As far as looking stupid that is pretty normal for me so I can deal.

Awh suck! But they make me run faster!

Anyone have any issues with the C4 soles delaminating at the heel? After only about a month of use mine are coming apart.

Geoff - How would a guy even know about that site?????????

Completely awesome photos! Thanks for posting such a sweet link Buckaroo. I found it somewhat amazing that the photo stats (views) were so low on some of those......74 to 114 views. It should be interesting to watch how quickly that number rises.

I was out last weekend just to have a look around and was impressed with the place. The rock has some really cool features and it appears that there is a significant amount of new route potential.

Now that is logic I admire and follow myself!

Looks like a good day, but Icehouse? Really? Oh well, more good beer for me!

Nice link! Thanks Darin!

You got me Porter......Now I am shamed....into... saying: Marc I am sorry and if you want I will chalk your hands for you on your next project. On a serious note: Good for you Marc on your good day...I am just not into the video...when I watch people go slow and chalk at every move I just wonder if it is the chalk they need or if it is just a pause to think out the next move and if so why not just take the time and forego the habitual use of chalk as a prop for pondering sequences. I personally have been able to climb for over twenty years and in all conditions and only felt the need to chalk in the humid climate of Krabi. But that is just me.

I don't think you chalked up enough. And yep, what Kevbone said.

That last photo is sweet. Nice TR.

Ditto!

First of all thanks to those who helped me track Glenn down. I really appreciate it. Secondly if anyone is interested his new website is: http://www.majestic-america.com/

Why yes....yes I am.

I bet they are left as fixed gear because people are more interested in getting rid of them than leaving gear they actually prefer to use.

You could use the paint markers as suggested. Paint the part of the tricam that has the slight indentation for the webbing to run through and it should stay bright, shiny and new for a long time. How often do any of you guys use these? I have one I have been bringing along for a few years and I think I have placed it once or twice.

No problem Goat Boy glad to be of help. It was actually pretty funny when I got back to the computer and searched Buff Black......you can imagine some of the crap that came up.

Very nice. That cave looks cool. Cheers!

Man, I really enjoy your TR's. Your knack for photography makes me inspired and jealous at the same time. To top it off your writing style is entertaining and fun to read. Thanks for sharing.

North Face Del Campo via Headlee Pass trail and out Weden Creek. The Lewis Peak Gullies on the Morning Star side.

I climbed Mt Baring in January about 7 years ago. Climbed it via the standard (easy) Summer route. The hardest part was the climb from the notch and then the ensuing upward traverse. Although now that I think about it the traverse across from the wooded ridge to the gully leading to the upper bowl was brutal. It was hard packed iced over snow and the footing was terrible. One of my buddies took a 50'+ slide down through the trees and fortunately missed all of them but did rip off a couple finger nails and get a major case of "road" rash on his outer thigh. Definitely a worthy Winter objective.

Nice Jordan. You seemed to have had a great season this year. I enjoy reading your TR's. ....and beer at camp.....a requisite...well, yeah! Tyson
