So we've been at Lone Pine for spring break.
Alabama Hills, a spurt climbing area, with a ton of moderates. However, didn't do any climbing Frown
But did do a lot of sight seeing.
Got to Darwin, and old mining town, not quite ghost town yet, as it still claims 50 residents. Lots of gold and silver were mined in the area. Balarat, another old Mining Town. A few of the old adobe mud houses are still standing - partially standing. These are just west of Death Valley Park. We drove through a little bit of the west side of the park, but didn't get into DV proper. Just too many miles, too little time with my crew. Cool scenary, maybe next year do the DV area itself.
Another day we got up into the East Seirras a bit, hit the snow for some playing around. Kids all had fun.
Thrid day we did some sightseeing around Lone Pine, drove up Granite View road quite a ways. Drove around Alabama Hills, kids wanted to climb, but by the time I got the gear out of the car they were off running around someplace else. Checked out one of the Arches that you can get a picture of Whitney through.
Last day we were going to climb, but just way too windy. Drove across Owens Valley a checked out an old mine. Some really cool stuff there, ore shoots and structures. One shaft thats big enough for a Jeep to drive into. Lots of trails and equipment all around.
All in all, a good time. Transfer case got a good work out, and that is always a good thing.

So what is the problem w/ the camping?
I haven't looked into it much. Just seen a couple pics of the campground. Looked fine, like it would work with my trailer for bringing the family sometime. I've also been known to crash in the back of the Sub. Actually my ussual MO when camping solo for climbing trips.

we stayed at the Suncoast Casino, so I can't comment on the conditions except for that one spin through the campground that we took looking for a couple of Jeremiah's friends who happened to be in RR at the same time. We didn't find them, though. It might not have helped that, as we were driving slowly along the dark, dirt road, I was chanting, "warriorrrrs, come out and pla-yayyyyy..."

From what I saw, though, it didn't look that bad, nor nearly as crowded as folks suggested it might be (i.e. - we could have had a site had we tried for one). There were certainly trailers there, too.

I'm glad we stayed in a hotel, though. I got beat up from a lot of climbing long days at my limit. The hot tub after Epi was well worth the expense of the hotel.

Sounds good.
Hoteling with the family is kinda painful. Should be was. Kids are getting older so it should be better.
The advantage of the trailer is the kids can play right outside while we make dinner inside/rest.

totally understandable. I'd do that campground with a trailer. it's not the most comfy (I'd still do it with a tent for a short trip) and doesn't have facilities (pit toilet). Not sure about water. Definitely not a "nice" campground, though.

Sounds about like the campground we were in last week. Sounds like the campgrounds at Josh. No water, power or sewer. Pit toilets.
But we did have a nice stream for the kids to play around, although it was generally a little too cool for them to want to get in.

The big problem with RR campground is the wind. Overnight the winds often pick up and that place is the definition of exposed.

yup, I'd believe that. there's no protection there all around it. all the hills or mountains that are nearby are too far away to provide any kind of decent shelter.

OK, good to know.
Though It couldn't be much worse than Lone Pine last week.
Whosh, it was windy.

Sooooo..... The fam and I went for a weekend of skiing. We stayed in North Lake Tahoe and skiing for two days at Boreal. The first day, I skipped out on the boring hill and went BC toward Castle Peak.

Didn't climb it. Was pretty cool to see in Nor Cal. Rather rare thing around here.

Here is a view of the summit from the first of three spires that you arrive at. You can see two climbers on the summit. At this point, you have to down climb and traverse over to what summit post calls a "third class scramble" I call BS as there is a rap anchor on top. Mad Granted I climbed it in ski boots...but I'd call it class 4 to 5.1

Very fun trip. I went in there for the skiing and ended up enjoying the climb more. It was one of my favorite summits. Smile

nice TR, dude. who went with you on the climbing?

Thanks. I went solo. I'm growing weary of trying to find partners. It's such a pita

with the exception of a lack of partners, you've got a good deal going.

A good deal? Do you mean just everything in general? ie Life the Universe and Everything? (42)

Hmmm, the last 4 days - cleaned up some awesome highballs, did the FA on one of them, did the FA of a new 2 pitch route (though this route may have been done by a friend of mine around 40 years ago, I have to go ask) complete with an ass-puckering 30 foot moss-climb exit with just a shitty wobbly tree at the start for pro (the NOT FUN part of the route...), then did Agag's Groove on the Bouchaille (the route I posted a long story about a while back, my first mountain route or something). Fuck I love the highlands!

The big problem with RR campground is the wind. Overnight the winds often pick up and that place is the definition of exposed.

When the missus and I went to RR Rendezvous last year the winds destroyed our tent and we slept in the car before checking into our downtown hotel a few days early. I went to throw the tent in the dumpster before we left and saw another four or five tents in there... trashed.

man, so this past weekend really kicked my ass. 30 pitches in three days is a lot for a guy who hasn't put many long days in for 2010. and the easiest pitch was 5.7, with the vast majority being at 5.9-5.10a, which is at my onsite trad level. so, my freaking biceps and triceps are trashed, and my fingertips are shredded to the point that it hurts to use a pen. i'm glad my laptop has a soft keyboard.

tried to climbing again today in Red Rocks in Colorado Springs. Got up a few easy sport climbs, but my fingertips started bleeding again so we stopped. My arms still havent recovered.Frown

thanks, but this has kept me from Devil's Tower this weekend. could've gone today for a few days before next week's trip to Taos. kinda bummed about that.

not really convinced those kinds of efforts are worth it if you're missing other stuff.

man, so this past weekend really kicked my ass. 30 pitches in three days is a lot for a guy who hasn't put many long days in for 2010. and the easiest pitch was 5.7, with the vast majority being at 5.9-5.10a, which is at my onsite trad level. so, my freaking biceps and triceps are trashed, and my fingertips are shredded to the point that it hurts to use a pen. i'm glad my laptop has a soft keyboard.

tried to climbing again today in Red Rocks in Colorado Springs. Got up a few easy sport climbs, but my fingertips started bleeding again so we stopped. My arms still havent recovered.Frown
Fukken Eh. Good effort Greg.

thanks, but this has kept me from Devil's Tower this weekend. could've gone today for a few days before next week's trip to Taos. kinda bummed about that.

not really convinced those kinds of efforts are worth it if you're missing other stuff.

Sounds like your partner is riding you roughshod!

every time I come out his goal is to push me because he thinks I'm a better climber than I let on. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I got to the top but I wasn't clean on everything. I hurt. WAAAAAAA!

We'll see how next week goes in Taos.
