Courtright

I think so. The SEKI guide says "Starts in a large pocket in the crystal dike, 40 feet right of Balance of Power..."

But since BOP doesn't seem very distinct in the SEKI guide, looks like the pics will help find both.

What a great TR and insights on the FA. Thanks Stephen and thanks for updating the hardware too. It sounds more reasonable without the questionable 30 year old bolts and pins.

Some cool clouds over Punk Rock taken from Penstemon. Stupid stuck shutter cover in the corner too.

Your TR gives me the butterflies. Very much enjoyed the present tense retelling of the FA with the current ascent. Way to go!

Badass you went back up there and sent that rig on the replacement initiative.

Proud line, and love the affinity for the tricam!

Any smoke out there?

hi, not sure, but on my way this morning to courtright, so i will found out, pretty psyched on checking out the new routes on the swiss cheese wall, if you go this weekend  come check me out, i will be at the spring/trapper campgrounds, happy climbing mike a.

I went to tamarack ridge to boulder yesterday and it was very smokey, so I'm guessing courtright is probably pretty smokey,  it's a little better in the foothills this am so I'm hoping courtright will be ok today.

Thanks for the updates. We had some miserable trips due to smoke inhalation last year during the Aspen Fire so hoping for semi-clear air somewhere.

Mike- photos of the trip please!

just got back from courtright no smoke some t-showers and checked out the swiss cheese wall, not hard to find and super mellow 3 pitch routes, going to fresno dome early friday morning, at oakhurst this morning some smoke but way better then last friday, things looking better at shuteye today :-), happy climbing mike a.

[susan]

Yeah! Thanks for the update on Shuteye conditions.

How was the Swiss Cheese wall?

[mike a]

hi, the swiss cheese wall is super mellow climbing, 3 pitch tall slab climbing wall, lots of anchors, hour hike from the old power dome camp site " Geo interpation sign" backside of power dome, it would be a great place to camp, great wall to show newbe's multi-pitch climbing.

cool, thx for the smoke update.

Cute name Swiss cheese wall. Must be pocketed and make you feel like a mouse.
