[Hide Comment] I am looking to fill in the gaps on some information I have acquired on Tehipite. Does anyone have any beta on the Wall of Ages route? At least the lower 1/2 which leads to the ledge system where Time Warp begins?

Tehipite Dome (7,708)
First known ascent by Allan L. Chickering and Walter A. Starr on July 31, 1896. The summit can be gained by climbing out along a sloping ledge on the west face or by going out the backbone, which involves nothing more than a rock scramble. The easiest way to reach the north base of the dome is to leave the Tunemah trail at the 7,500 foot level and contour around, as severe brush is encountered at higher elevations.
Pretty neat info on the place. Anyway, anyone know if a new SEKI guide book is in the works? I have the old one but wondering if there would be more beta on getting out to some of these domes.
