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.

I'm not sure where Graveyard Creek is. I suspect that the foreground of the photo is the dome at the dam looking south to where Camp Creek cascades down the cliffs. It would be easy to check if anyone went there.







I just found out that Mammoth Pool was a pool in the river just above where the dam is now. 1953 map before the dam was built:

There is a picture showing "Flat Top Dome" and "Graveyard Creek" but I don't think it is Graveyard Peak. Perhaps somebody recognizes where the photo was taken. It may be under water now for all I know.

This sure seems like where the current dam is located on Mammoth Pool. Note that Graveyard Creek drains into Jackass Creek way down stream. One might read the arrow in the picture as pointing down stream in the direction of where those drainages are... effectively showing the flow direction of the river below?

Balloon Dome Area / Re: Cat Wall

Looking at the photo posted above, I don't think it shows Cat Wall. The photo appears to be of this slab:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/EcQNvt14hxJNojyh7

In his AAJ writeup, Sean Jones states:

"The line goes directly up the center of the largest south-facing wall opposite Balloon
Dome, but slightly upstream..."

The slab in the photo is east facing. There is a south facing wall just upstream from the posted photo which I suspect is Cat Wall. The posted photo looks like it was taken from the top of Cat Wall rather than of Cat Wall. I think Cat Wall is here:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZK58mYk7FEuyTFwL7

This wall is upstream of Balloon Dome and faces south as Sean described.

I took some photos that show what I think is Cat Wall:

Cat Wall just below Miller Rock
