Description:
Dream of Wild Turkeys is a fine route, sustained at the grade, and one of those routes that has excellent climbing the entire way up. If you rap after the 7th pitch, you're missing out on 3 more outstanding pitches of climbing and the summit. The ASCA recently replaced all the bolts on this climb (except the bolts on the last pitch before Turkeyland. The final rappel station at Turkeyland is 'okay', but if you've gone this far, you might as well top out. One word of caution- it may be prudent to swing over to PoD on the raps, as there are no less than 4 stuck ropes in the crack on the crux pitch. This route is high quality and well protected, well worth doing!

Super line!
My first long route. Was high for days afterwards. Fun climbing the whole way. 10a traverse is closely bolted. Rope got stuck on 2nd rap, but party above us saved the day. Thanks.

Long and fun
First long route. Lots of 5.9 climbing, small bit of 10a traversing.

First 2 pitches only
p2 is excellent! No time for the whole climb due to a number of factors... long wait for a party of 3 in front of us was one. But that was somewhat expected. Get an early start, it's a super popular climb.

Awesome climb!
Only got to climb to the top of the 6th because it started raining on us. (i thought it never rained in Vegas!) Aside from being bummed that I couldn't get to the 10th pitch i loved it. The 10a pitches were very doable and definitely 10a. (although the offwidth pitch ate my #4 C4... super bummmer!) Even got to do a little space rappel while rapping off which was pretty fun. All in all, great route! i'm going to have to go back and finish it some time.
