Nice boulders. How far from their nice cliffs did they wander?

Ha love it!

Is that the climb "High Cotton"? Why I don't recall you getting out that far with us. Long while ago if so. 

Here's another photo not as good of course and sorry about the time stamp. This climb is Wanderlust at Gray Eagle. Yes, the first pitch is one of the best routes anywhere in my opinion.


Key note on gear for it that I don't think is in Graham's guide but probably is mentioned somewhere. Bring a #3 old camelot for a v-slot placement in the face. It takes a #2 if using the brand new lightweight BD cams. This helps entirely with any runout after the traverse. There's even another placement shortly after that one which is similar and good for a #1 or #2 (I forget which but think #2) older BD cam.

I know Wing Feather is a great climb, but there are more stellar first pitch climbs on this formation. Be kinda nice to see someone climbing the lesser starred ones that are better than the fully starred in that guide. Honest.

why would older vs newer BD make a difference when the cam lobes haven't really changed?  Or have they changed in the green, red, gold, blue sizes?  above that yes, but I hadn't seen any change. 

Not sure on the route name. I leave keeping track of that stuff to you guys. ;)  May 2015 was when.

Hey, did you get my response on the camping beta on 108?

No I didn't get your response on my 108 query but would still like to!

Good question on the BD cams. It is a unique and kind of shallow placement. Didn't have the old #3 with me to compare at the time, and I neglected to compare since then. At work, can't do it now... maybe later.

Sent a PM with the info after 2 email attempts seemed to fail because of an smtp problem on my host.
