Wilds

I'll be exploring the Wild Granites for a week or so. Cell# in profile

Woah man, can you please post up a trip report when you're back?!?!

Wish I knew WTF the "indian burial ground" with the crosses referred to. The boulder field perhaps?

I know this is a long shot, but if anyone went there and found a multimeter please let me know. Thanks!

Finding info on this place is impossible. And I realize that is by design. Supertopo has a few threads on it, but virtually nothing more than is found on MP. Any beta on routes that could be sent, even via DM, would be greatly appreciated. 

For such a big beautiful wall it is surprising that it has pretty successfully  been kept under the radar. I've kept track over the years when I see it mentioned so I know many people have been out there. I've flown over it several times on my way to somewhere else and it looks like a wild place indeed.

Christopher, when I get time to look for some photos I'll DM them. I've seen someone shouted down on SuperTopo for talking about it, saying that there is a local's ethic not to.  Well, no one is really local to the Wilds and you are from Nevada so that is about as local as you can get.

I too am looking for any beta on routes that a wuss like me can climb. I chatted with mason earle about a route he did up there, but I think it's mid 11s, way too hard for me.

First time I drove through nevada I passed by those beautiful granite spires. I knew I had to one day make it back in there and climb something. 

If anyone wants to climb there this fall let me know.

What's the drive time from Vegas?  Climbing difficulty?  Average approach distances?  How many days you plan to lay siege?

If you want that much beta this probably isn't for you

Do I have be blindfolded for the drive, too?

Only after you run backward naked through a cornfield....

Or a cholla field, being that it is Nevada

HOHMANN!!!!!

Sorry, need to know "something* about what I would be committing to.

Would love to go early fall but don't think I'm core enough to hang with Trad Man. If anyone else is interested in checking out Mason's 5.11 line (I have beta), PM me.
