Weekly Favorite Shuteye Ridge PICS thread

I forgot all about that smoke grenade. I think it was there at the start of the variation. Would be cool to know the story on those...never will though.

Would be fun to check that Zombie plan formation out again, it's been so long. It was back when Josh and Kev had that multi week spell at Gray. It was the first time we climbed together. Slack Ping!!! Good times.

In Shuteye Creek below Owl Wall at dusk:
(This would be awesome if I tweaked it a bit so you can see the foreground too but Fuller out in the background looks so cool)

Full house for Gray! Santa Cruz folks on Physics of Death and Pale Man:

Pale Man, do tell.

Pale Man, do tell.

It is a mixed 11b (or so) immediately left of Eschers that we finished last year but we are working our way up to the summit. We were working on P2 a little this last weekend so it should be done no later than the Fall of 2042. You would love it, Jeff it is totally your type of line. It is one of the many lines on Gray that look like dark, unattractive rock from below but is clean, golden knobs when you are on it or looking downward. Three cruxes of 11b?, 10+, 10+. Good stuff.

Titanic P1.

I suppose if the giant death flake on P2 gets the title of "the sail" then this feature should be called "the rudder", right?

[jeff]

Loving the pics!

The Titanic with it's "rudder" is one of the main lines that caught my eye the first time I walked the base of Gray. I was quite bummed at first when these new people kept showing up at Gray but they seemed cool. Especially bummed at those that were able to stay up there for weeks on end. Then they snag the biggest prize on Gray. No fn way, cocksuckers! I never would have thought I would need to rush putting up routes on Gray and now over 16 people in one day on Gray! So crazy! Well I hope the new invaders are as awesome as that group I came to love seeing up there and loosing lines to regularly and I hope they love and care for Gray like I know my favorite invaders do.
