Would the ASCA supply a replacement bolt for that biggie?

[YETI]

Nate- yeah same one. I couldn't believe it kept going, and going.

It turned out to be mid .11, for the length of my pitch, though they started from beginning of the crack a bit up and right adding around 30-40 ft.

I ran out of cams (I had 5 ea) and was hand placing bomber angles toward the end.

Coolest pitch I have ever lead.

Only two more weekends left of open gates!!! Mayday, mayday, mayday!

Little snow accumulation expected? Temp forecast for weekend looking promising.

[John]

I am so curious why you care, Mr. got other plans I am not addicted to Soyo I can quit any time but I just don't want to.

I REFUSE TO CLIMB IN SOYO THIS WEEKEND!













unless of course I change my mind

8:10 AM on Wednesday and a beautiful sunny morning in spite of the forecast

[John]

Wow, and your forecast looks really bad. No dark clouds in the horizon?

It is a conspiracy by the NOAA climbers!!

bunch of jerks over there

[Jerry]

A little fog down towards Oakhurst and some high thin clouds but basically warm and sunny. Doppler shows a few light scattered showers to the north, satillite and water vapor images don't show much for now so maybe reforming later? Who knows! Reno NWS, the most accurate one I've found, says it is a very difficult forecast with models all over the place.

yesterday my buddy says at his cabin at 6k, there was no snow in the early evening. Only this morning am I seeing Kirkwood has any appreciable base snow. With the soyo being so southerly, etc...

I may have to repack the truck for another weekend. gah!

It's pouring rain down here in the Bay Area right now. Been a long time. Love it though. Being from the NW, rain must bring back good memories. Anyway, we are working today, so no big deal.

couple inches of snow on Dodge Ridge Summit. Base looks limited. Nothing at Bumblebee which is around 5500, IIRC.

[John]

The weather that far north doesn't really apply to Soyo very much. If you like pretty weather maps and a handy way to find the driest parts of California, try the "Experimental Graphical Forecast" on the NOAA site and you can mouse over the different subjects of maps like temp, chance of precip., amount of rain, etc. and find where the weather patterns change or start/end. Really handy in the winter.....or depressing when it is all bad news.

Of course, but there are no web cams or people I know that live on minarets.
