Comments: I recall this photo being taken by John Sherman. Sent in to Mammut and they said it was cut. The sling was part of a directional on a rap line he was using to "clean" a route. Failed after some bouncing while prying off loose blocks. Whether it was animal chews, malicious intent, or whatever the synopsis was cutting. There is a whole report that Mammut did on this sling somewhere out in the nether regions of the internet. Or I might have it.

Comments: Liberty Bell 5.8ish. Often top roped. Super fun and grabbing above that bulge is "exciting"!

Comments: There are two great new ASCA bolted rap stations on the West side of the formation (away from the other Needles) directly under the fire lookout. Down about 15 feet on a great shelf. One 60m rope and two raps down and towards the approach stairs put your right in a gully near the base of the stairs past the locked stairs gate.

Comments: and why isn't the haul line backed up? Catastrophe in the making.

Comments: To TR this route easily, lead Mechanic's Route (5.8R) and with a single cord you can lower the climber to the base clipping directionals, then belay them up both P1 and P2. Make sure and clip the bolts or risk swinging way around the arete if you "F" the crux. An absolutely amazing climb that I aspire to lead. Interesting moves throughout and the crux isn't too hard in-and-of itself, but coming at the end of the enduro fest is burly. My favorite climb I've (almost) done at Tahquitz.

Comments: Not my picture. I leached it from someone but forget who. It was taking from the Fern Valley Road as one drives up to Tahquitz.

Comments: Although the topo here calls this 5.9, I'd call it solid 5.10a. The top crux is no gimme.

Comments: The entire route (SOY) and Serenity crack can be rapelled with a single 70 meter rope with an extra rap off the low tree on P2 of Sons.

Comments: We did it "clean" (02/16/2009) which is why I graded it C2F. I was able to hand clean one knifeblade on the roof traverse that I reset with a couple whacks, which is why I say clean in quotes. All the fixed gear was bomber and the heads on P1 were in good / great shape. The only tricky placement was a small black tricam on the roof. Other than that, long reaches can get you to a lot of the fixed gear (i.e. sideways top stepping and using the face)
We were talking about the roof being free c... more >>

Comments: Indian Head is very apparent from the road and just head off towards it and follow the left side of the gully. There is a trail in spots marked with cairns that makes the approach MUCH better. When in doubt, stay left and out of the gully bottom except for one section on a plateau once India Head is again visible.

Comments: There is one fixed pin on P2 above the crux in the no hands rest. It's kind of hard to spot, but convenient if you see it.

Comments: I heard the recent fires by the 118 torched Stoney Point. Apparently it has happened before as well.
I'll post pics when I get out there in the next week or so.
