Thanks Schuyler,

Getting to Tehipite Dome isn't too complicated and the info is on MP (here), summitpost and also maps show it pretty well whether you want to walk to the base or rap in. Beta on the climbs themselves isn't very abundant though. ";;High Sierra Peaks, Passes and Trails";; by Secor has a pretty good overview, as does the old SEKI guidebook. Some of the newer stuff can be found by searching past issues of AAJ on their website and there's a little info on MP as well.

I've heard you can rap Wall of Ages. I haven't done it myself but have walked the route to the base three times and to the top once, both are long but not as epic as people make them sound.

If you've got the funds the Clyde Pack Outfit is great and will shuttle you out and back to the upper rap in or to the base.

I've got copies of some old original topos so if there's a specific route you're looking at let me know an maybe I can help. If you're looking for an FA just bring lots of water!

Also, if you're bored and want to see some pics of the area I wrote two trip reports for a wall across the valley from Tehipite Dome.

PS. Bring a fishing pole if you're headed to the valley floor!

I'm still hopeful that a guide is in the works for Kings Canyon so I'm not going to post a lot of free info but I've decided to post a bit to get everyone through the wait.

North Sentinel, with its awesome crack climbing, is online.

If the crack climbing in Kings Canyon doesn't interest you I've added some TR, sport and long face routes to the site for the Boyden Cavern Area. Get some laps in while we all wait for the Kings Canyon Guidebook.

5.11a, mostly bolts, 1,200ft and right off the road up a marble tower.
