Grahm enjoying the FA of this high ball classic. Even though its overhanging the huge incut holds only make for a V1. Its nice to have a few pads for the 20 foot top out though!

Jeremy steals the FA of this amzing problem right out from under me. I worked on it last year and was psyched to FA it this summer. Jeremy jumped on with me and after some really close attempts got the send. Thats what you get for showing stronger younger climbers your projects!

Jeremy onsights the FA of this classic problem. Super steep, yet follows huge jugs. These lead to a commiting mantle over the top. At only V2 you really just need to flex your mind muscle for the send on this one!

Sticking the cruxy jump catch. Fire off some small crimps up this overhanging problem to the "Claim Jumper" move. After that some technical (scary) top out moves lead to the exit slab. Photo: Jorge Moines

For a few weeks in spring the top of the Mesa is blanketed in multi color flowers. Makes the hike very surreal.

This great problem has jugs out the steep roof to a balancy arete where you seek the best knobs to pull ever higher.

I had to stop and get a photo of this section of cliffline. The cave looks fun but if you look right you can make out a lone pocket begging to be grabbed 3/4 of the way up the wall.

We happened into this hidden little grotto that had tons of highballs and toprope potential.

Jerry from the SSCA (Southern Sierra Climbers Association) samples the sweet locks on this fun problem.

This awesome wall has huge cobbles and a bit of an overhang. Lines in the 5.11 to 5.12 range. Definetly tall enough to top rope but...maybe with better shoes!

Another fun boulder problem with solid cobbles over a flat grass landing.

A beautifull little canyon on the East side with tons of bouldering, highballs and topropes.

First ascent shot of Grahm on his new route "Hidden Treasure". This is the final crux guarding the anchor where many onsight attempts are thwarted.

Matt Calender keeping it cool while warming up.

This fun problem starts on thin holds with long reaches to a power pull over your foot while underclinging. Similar to twister :-)

Here some pad people cross the 1st impressive log bridge.

Louies daughter samples the opening moves. The future of climbing is well on its way!

Louie Anderson samples one of the steep sides of the Oakhurst Training boulder.

Starts deep under the horizontal roof on solution pockets. Climb out the only weakness under the roof with fun powerfull moves to a jug under the lip. Punch up and left with an arie deadpoint to the top.

This topo shows established and current project lines on the Aerie. Matching letters have been added to the routes in the database to match up with a, b, c etc...

My dogs Rocky and Molly enjoying a quick stop on the 1st of 2 creek crossings on the way up to Shuteye Pass. Late spring the creek is flowing pretty good up to 6 inch deep at the crossing point. By end of Aug. it is completely dry.

Shot from the base of High Eagle. The doodle can be see on top.

Taller than it looks, this steep wall has some amazing sport climbs most ranging from .12 to 13b. High Eagle is in the background.

A shot looking up High Eagles premier wall. Among other routes there is brilliant 140 Foot bolted 11+ on the right. It stops 3/4 of the way up.

This shot shows High Eagle and its smaller but steep companion Aerie down on the left.

This shot is looking north toward the wall. Highly featured wall that gets taller as you head down into the canyon. Beautiful seasonal creek in the forground.

Park before the Seasonal gate and head off North East cross country to Queens throne. Photo taken from High Eagle. Dreamscape is visible on the left.

Shot from Electric Eagle this view shows the expance of this side of the wall. The left hand profile shows the route of Captain Obvious a super classic 3 pitch 5.8 that finishes on the pinnicle.

This shot shows the Bastion from Electric Eagle. Steep walls along the West side and Trad climbs on the slabbier East side.

This side of Electric Eagle 6 bolted routes and 2 mixed lines ranging from 5.10 to 5.12

This wall is just to much fun to look at! This angle shows how steep the wall is. 300 feet high. Many projects are ongoing here. Despite the blank sections on the middle of the wall there are still enough featured sections for some great routes.

Steep powerfull bouldering to get past the first three bolts. Next a juggy flake leads to a rest. More steep climbing leads to kneebar rest in the famous crystalis pocket. Big throw to another pocket and a pumpy finish through an undercling lead to the anchors.

This shot is before the rock slide of Dec. 04. It works for comparing to the rockslide shot. Keep in mind that the rock slide shot is from the road. This shot was taken while standing on the upper tier. It would be imposible to recreate as the photographer would be under rubble.

This is a photo taken from the road. It shows just how massive the rock slide was. The bottom third of the crag is completely buried in rockfall. Unfortunately the hardest climbs were in the back. They are the most damaged including a 14a recently redpointed by Chris Linder.

A pumpy and technical traverse problem. Thin Rails appear and dissapear making for big reaches and cool gymnastic moves. The steep angle pumps your arms and the thin feet makes sure you keep the weight on em.

Usually steep boulders seem to disapoint with no features, not in this area... This is a shot of the opening moves a 30 foot traverse problem. Climbs out of cellar like depression then traverses on a rail system to an obvious top out. Incredible how featured the granite is up here!

This photo is of a new bouldering area located on top of Gray Eagle Dome in the Shuteye Pass area. 4 wheel drive delivers you to the middle of a large group of steep and highly featured boulders. Many FAs await, wth an incredible view of the Sierra crest and flat landings this place is super fun. Can't wait to put more up!
