[mike a]

hey john, it's a t.r. project in grahms book, to the left of frog roof kent did it in one try he did a great job lots of stimming and yoga moves, no longer a open project, happy climbing mike a.

[John]

Yoga moves..ha, ha ha! I can totally picture that! What size gear did he end up using?

Thanks Mike!

Nice pix John!  I'm picturing high tech gadgetry, computers, satellite links, and Dr. Evil (or any other Bond villain) tucked away in that cave.   

[John]

Thanks!

I totally wonder what is in there. There appears to be enough room for an evil laboratory for sure!

[YETI]

Man, cool perspectives in every shot!

What is in there??

Prolly a yeti.

[John]

A gimp?

Whatever is in there, it's sitting on 190 MWatts of power.   What's to worry about?

[John]

When I first saw that tunnel I knew it wasn't a core power-producing part of the dam since the power lines coming out of it are a really thin gauge and very little water exits it. I think that tunnel probably has a small turbine to power some local buildings and devices like pumps and lights. Most of the water goes 7+ miles down the canyon in a big tunnel to the Mammoth Pumphouse #8.

Troll cave, for sure.

Been locked up a long time. Don't open it, no matter what!


More pics people! More pics!

[susan]

Yes, more photos! I'll see what I can dig up.

I do not know what that roof looks like at 1/4 Day Dome and am curious, hint hint, but glad to hear your friend got a clean TR, Mike A, yoga moves and all. Sounds fun if you don't wrench yourself.
