Beyond Southern Yosemite / Re: Shaver Lake

Stevenson’s Gorge has a ton of rock. The one time I ventured back there was when they were draining Shaver Lake to work on the dam. There was so much water coming down it almost blew us off the bridge. My buddy and I found a short wall next to one of the vent caves off the road and decided to clean it to try and put up some new routes. We didn’t realize all the vines we were tearing off were old poison oak. I ended up having to take two weeks off work for the poison oak I had from my ears to my ankles. Sucks to suck!

I do know there has been some development on the upper walls which you can not see from the road. You can park above them and rap or hike down from the Wagon Wheel road. Current closed from the fire, last I checked.

Paul Martzen put in a 5.10-11 (if I remember right) about 5-8 years ago that navigates the entire gorge, adventure route. I believe you climb up from the road on the right of the water, cross over to the left where the staring anchors are. It is like 10-14 pitches I believe. He asked me to go on the final push but I wasnt able to. Paul Amico and another guy assisted on the final FA. It goes all the way up the gorge on the left, crosses over toward the upper walls, then traverse to somewhere on the big slab on the right, to rap back down to the road. Def an all day event.

Outstanding! Thx for sharing!  The old pins look cool! Wonder about those now!

I'll probably hit Minarets before I head to Stevenson, but I'll keep it in the back pocket to explore.

Bob and I went back there in 2014. Cool place to explore. Also slabs along the river.

Anyone seen pics of Stevenson Falls? There appears to be a shit ton of granite slabs in that area. Ebike-able to the bridge?

Not yet, but some reasonable angled slabs in pics the day I posted this. Seems like reasonable trail to the falls, then cross the river somehow and viola Bob's your uncle.

Anyone done anything out that way?

I'd post a pic but attachments aren't writable... "The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved."

thx for the old map link Dan. I can't attach to posts anymore for some reason. But the creek is right near Jackass rock.
