lancegranite Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 That was my screen saver for 6 months! Have never climbed there, but very interested in an trip. The WG is simply a long ways from anywhere, but plainly visible from the highway, where that photo was taken. Not many have climbed there, sounds like it was a 70/80's thing. The only guy I know who has climbed there said the bugs were really bad. Usually he expounds on the merits of climbs, so my guess that this sandbagger is really bluffing. I would be very interested in climbing out there, my thought is a larger expedition might be smarter, as the nearest town is Tonapah, 70 miles away.

lancegranite Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 For those who would like to search out some more information about this area, you may want to look up the Arc Dome Wilderness area and the north and south twin rivers.
