OK GPS heads. Here are the coordinates from google earth. Just plug these into GE to check out. The first main outcropping. 41 31'35.81 N, 113 41'39.07 W There are a couple of routes on this formation. Good rock, moderate looking. Also just east of this formation is a fun looking moderate. .10 to 11...

Don't want to hijack this but... how was cataract? Was it a guided trip or private? I am thinking of doing this later this summer. You can PM me if you don't want to contribute to my threadjacking. Or, jack away!

Saw a small one up Altered States Gully on Monday. Buzzed my friend as he stepped over it. It crawled under a rock and made noise. Don't mess with the snakes. We don't need to go around killing them either. They have more right to be there then we do. I'm not trying to get all hippie on you guys, bu...

So... anybody go out there this weekend?

"I wasn't aware that we had signed a pact giving the snakes their land back." That was a real smart comment. Let me dumb this down a bit. Is your home on the trail to escape buttress? Do you live in the rocks that surround escape buttress? I'm glad you were so brave and killed that dangero...

Alpinian, this is where some of the best camping is. Just up the road from where you camped is another formation with a couple of very steep lines. 4-5 botls each I think. I have no information on ratings on any of the climbs by where you camped. Did you do any of them? How hard did you think they w...

As a photoshoper since its inception, I have learned most everything from books. There are a number of very good photoshop tutorials out there. You can learn what is applicable to you, and what techniques you want to learn. The problem with classes, they teach you what they want, not what you want t...

I was climbing out at Castle Rocks last weekend. Noticed a bunch of new routes west of Crack House. I also found out they have opened up a couple of new "zones" for development. Where does one find route info other then the book at the visitors center? Is there a published guide out there ...

Built, I don't know if this is up your alley or not. I work for a large insurance brokerage in town. We are looking for someone to fill an underwriting position. We could train the RIGHT person. We are also looking for an entry level file clerk. Our entry level pay is over $10.00 hr. PM me if intere...

I read in the paper that Gary had been in a serious accident. I think he was hit by a car while riding a bicycle. Don't know about him being out of business. I was using him when he did resoles out of his West Valley home. I've also tipped many back with him. If Gary does the work, they will be good...

I have the old style Cobra ice tools. I was hoping to modify these tools by adding a "pinkey" strike. Kinda like the new viper and cobra. Has anybody done this? I looked at the Viper Strike but I could not see a way to make it fit the cobra. I know there are some engineer types out there. ...

Hey Brian, thanks for the info. I knew the Viper kit would work. BD said "no way". I was also looking at the Grivel Horn. Looks like it would screw right on. I think I could also get the trigger to work also. I've demoed a couple of leashless tools. With what I have invested in the cobras ...

Just wondering if anyone attended the ice fest this year? How was it? I went a few years ago. Great if you want to hang around with the who's who of ice climbing. Not so great if you just want to go and climb. How are conditions? I'll be there 1/30 - 2/5. Hopefully the ice has recovered by then. Kyle
