Lost Eagle in one of the photos.

No time to read it right now but beautiful shots in there!

Ball Cupping level has reached OVERLOAD@!
Nice pics though thorny.

i saw it on facebook, jimmy post it on there, it's like this youall, amy and i were at shuteye on memorial weekend, at fresno dome, only saw doug robinson, and saw no one at shuteye, 4th of july week, only saw josh's and shawn's truck at lost eagle, and the balls that was it for the 4th, couple weekends ago, at chitkoot, a bunch of cars there, amy and i said" that f%$^ing book, but most of them were at a wedding at the lake, and saw shawn once again, last weekend, labor day weekend for 3 day's, not a soul, i think is will be just pretty much the same players up there going to southern yosemite, but the real test i think will be next saeson, to see how many climbers who are willing to get out of there comfort zone and poke around, even with the new book it takes sometime to find the climbs if you have never been there, i mean look, how long have i been spraying about southern yosemite, and is it a zoo now??? happy climbing mike a.

Nice thought Mike. I agree that it is still pretty solitary out there.

I agree with Mike. The book isn't even available at REI yet.
PG Sunnyvale have it yet?
I've been trying to pay attention to John's updates, but they are so out of context right now for me.
John, are you going to update the original post, with all the corrections, on the correction thread?
Brad, Steve and I have been looking at making an easily printable update to the SPH via an uploaded Word doc.
-
Munge-
Yes, I am updating the original post with new routes and comments/updates when i can. Your last climb is the only one I haven't added yet, I think. The way I see it, the info is still there in the thread until I get to adding it. Been busy.
-
ok, I'll go stand in the corner now. :-X
:D
-
Aw man, get out of the corner, it's my bad. I will add it for you right now, I need a break anyhow.
-
Bad Munge!
-
sweet!
/munge steps out of corner, trips, falls. Blames flat land for failure in epic rant about the horizontal world.

I say a PDF is much much better than a Word doc. 2 cents.
-
SoYo has more than a 15 Mon approach walk and sometimes it is up hill. It will never be a zoo. PDF is nice.
-
does no one like Word? There's a free viewer app for Word. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4
You can convert Word to PDF if you have Word installed.
Why PDF?
Especially since PDF isn't usually editable on the fly but most folks have a version of Office of some kind.
-
What is DPM? Is it printed or just online?
PDF is better. My phone gets along with them much better than Word-type docs and I keep hundreds of PDFs on there for work.
-
iPhoney?
DPM = Dead Point Magazine
It was in print at one point, but I think it's just digital now.
-
You use word or whatever you want, and then you convert and save it as pdf before sharing. Why would anyone need to edit it except you guys? PDFs are super easy to view on all kinds of devices and to maintain consistent formatting.
-
The article mentions two previous guidebooks on Shuteye at the end. One must be the Spencer Guide, but what is the other? Slaters road trip? Mike A's?
-
morning, jim most be talking about slater's, man that slater book is kind of a big door stop, who would put that brick in his or her pack and hike to the crag with it, and it only had info on a couple walls at shuteye, at least mine was small, and showed more places to climb, i have notest since this year, grahn's posse have not post anything on super topo on southern yosemite, happy friday/happy climbing mike a.
-
Ha ha, "big doorstop".
No, it is not very compact is it?
Our Gunks guide is tiny and even has a piece of accessory cord threaded through a hole drilled in it so you can actually climb with it clipped to your harness! Now that is compact.
-
hi all, for my next guide book, i thought it would be helpful to make it with laminated pages with removeable pages with a hole in the corners of the pages so you can put a little cord throw the page with a binner cliped to your harness so you have a topo and info of the climb with you out of the book, and when your done with the page you can put it back in the book. i saw at a pro shop at vagus they had laminated topos , thats what gave me the idea for a that.
-
I have seen little laminated and folded topos for popular climbs like Nutcracker, Royal Arches, etc. that had a hole big enough for a biner to clip too.
The lamination makes the sheets too thick to have an entire guidebook of them. Maybe a really "select" guide though.
-
I used to make mini guides and laminate them with one hole in the corner to take with me on the climb. Now I just take pics photos of the topos with my phone which I always take for pics on the rock and can look at the pages I took a picture of for reference.
No extra weight and my book stays like new. I have Johns Eagles PDF on my phone to use at will.
