Looks are deceiving on this one. I hope!

One of the coolest routes on that side of the creek.

Rappelling that block, to the side this shot was taken is gripping for just a minute... Way cool piton and slung horn for the rap.

Get some!

Interesting angle, I don't remember seeing that one. We must have been on Sleepy Hollow to get that angle from above?

Looks like you could almost jump off the shoulder to one of those boulders.

Nope. Rainbow Connection. The bee attack that Victor and Mucci suffered was on a climb further east and out of view.

Glad that nut is still there. We should probably get a real anchor in.

morning all, amy and i went and check out the pools at grizzly creek, long hike down there, long hike out, 1200 foot down and out, if  you have small kidz, i do not think they would be psyched on the hike, checked out chquitio lake and grizzly lake as well, before we went climbing at fresno dome, never been to the end of the road on skyranch, beautiful drive, checked out slater's so called "best 5.8 at shuteye", at dreamscape dome, not the best 5.8 at all, if your a 5.8 climber, and your first time at dreamscape dome, super hard to find it, and real hard to get on it, hate to be all haten on tom slater, but if i was going to blah blah blah about me mega classic at shuteye's BEST 5.8. i would hook people up with awesome beta a cool topo, and show youall a map that would get you there :-(, i do not know, i guess that's just the way i roll, something like captian feather is a ton way best!!!, and the routes on the first wall you come up to at dreamscape, the starts are pretty flippen hard with no feet, but once you get going awesome edge climbing, the one second to the last route to left is a real good route, and the start move seemed to be the crux move maybe 12a, i want to see how my rating stack up to grahmy's and the rest you shuteye people??? when i get he's book.  happy climbing mike a.

Hi Mike
Man, we had a very similar weekend and I think we saw you on Central Camp rd on friday evening going the opposite direction. We couldn't see inside the cab but I am pretty sure you were waving. You seem to be fond of waving!

No, really, we went to Dreamscape, Chiquito Lake and Quartz Mtn. with the half hearted intent of going to Dans suggested Grizzly Creek/Merced swimming holes but didn't have the directions with us and didn't feel like winging it. We only went to Chiquito Lake and learned that it is not of the swimming variety as you likely know. Too bad we missed you.

Its funny, I think we climbed the same climbs there, too. At Dreamtime Wall we climbed Edge of Dreams on gear and one of the bolts and TR'd the 12a for a while. We really liked the 12a. The start is the crux for sure.

At Hawk Tower we did all of the climbs but Narcoleptic. I love how the rock down there is painted with all kinds of colors.
