Freak Show!!!

I was able to make it there earlier this year. Did first three pitches of No Where to Run. Tried to do Zumalt Crack but forgot the big stuff and my balls at home.

haha, just saw the Beyond section. I think I can contribute a little to the Bubbs Creek Beta. Just a little though. Look out for a report, soon to be posted. HERE! I don't want to share it with the whole taco, at least not till I can make my route go free. Which is a dream, an obsession and a shit load of work.
Luke recently free climbed What's Up Bubb. I did first 7 pitches of it, and liked the climbing as well! Aside from those I did Ronin and Aquaman. At some point it would be cool to do the Beckey route and Crystal Bonzai, maybe. Just so I could claim having climbed every route.
Left side of the wall will take a line. If you like gardening PM Daniel. I believe he really wants to climb it at some point.

Those dikes are awesome on Bubbs. Nice work.
-
The granite is of amazing quality. Would suggest everyone to go climbing on it. The scenery, camp, everything is stunning.

How is the approach?

One of the most motivating posts - was going to scan it quickly before work but couldn't help reading closer, and will read again later - what a talented writer and climber! Thanks for sharing and the great photos. I'm glad you've made the switch from mountaineering to rock climbing and totally agree for the reasons you mention.
One of several favorite parts:
"I would be pleased to complete the Nose in less than 24 hours and sending every pitch on Astroman does sound like a lot of fun, but these goals became secondary - not because I consider them lame, simply because I believe they are very achievable. Making significant changes for achievable goals never worked for me. Recently I switched my focus to exploration. Usually going for lines that have not been done at all or have not been free climbed. In some cases, like on Castle Rock Spire it led me to an epic 'failure' - 18 miles of mostly cross country travel, close call with a boulder nearly missing my head as I down-climbed 4th class and all that to complete two out of five pitches. But failing on an objective that was to me oh so precious seemed like a sweet success. Standing across from the Spire, I watched the last rays of sun illuminate the knifeblade summit. Having an opportunity to enjoy such a magical moment made me appreciate every step I took to get there. If health and time allows me to return, I will be back for another round. Maybe I will find the illusive “success,” maybe I will be humbled over and over, but above all I appreciate the journey - “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.”[/i][/b]

Approach is a great trail for about 8 miles and than a bit of boulder hopping g to the base. Great hike. Camp at Charlotte creek with a big bear box available and fire rings.
Thanks Susan! I like that paragraph too.
