Courtright

[daniel banquo merrick]

It looks like I am going to Courtright this weekend. Leave Friday evening, probably come back Monday. I've never been there. Since I have climbed exactly twice this year, I hope there are some easy routes. Look for me if you happen to be going too.

Dan, my partner situation is kinda kyboshed. I may head into Hoffman. If I do that Saturday, I could be in the area Sunday.

Join us. I will be with one partner but we can always make a party of three work. We are mostly interested in hanging out, having a few drinks and having fun. My partner doesn't post on forums or appear on facebook but he is a good camper and former guide. He is the guy in the orange shirt below. (I poached this from DR's Facebook page although I was there on that trip)

Great photo! Martinis of all things. A good drink for a long hike. All else that is needed are olives, worth their weight...

We have soyo plans but your plan sounds pretty darn awesome.

By the way I tried the Dammer last summer and quite liked it... it seemed a better driving force than any other with all the weight of it only where it is needed.

Glad you liked the hammer. I've been making a few of hammers lately. I've found some better handles with slightly smaller grip and changed the head - may not work better but looks better. Hopefully I can get one to you and John to try out.

Great photo. Are those martini glasses made by nalgene?

[susan]

That would be great, Dan. Hopefully we can cross paths soon. I have this terrible feeling that we don't have much time before weather kicks in out there. If the madness of the squirrels is any sign... they've been cuckoo lately.

If anyone left any gear at Courtright this weekend Berry has it. He posted up on ST.

I wonder when is the new Courtright guide coming out. Place looks sweet. Hoffman is close by eh? Might go there next week, maybe. Or needles, or Calavaras...or...

Breathtaking perspective. Tempting me to post some if I can find the ones this reminds me of.

I picked up a copy of the Courtright guide from the gym. Dwight did us proud! Great read, pics and overall info. He is having a book signing at Metal Mark gym in Fresno on the 13th, this next Tuesday. I believe at 6pm. Lets show him some support and thanks.

Little Nukey is such a nice climb. Yeah, I'm really enjoying the guide. If I were closer or going thru town that day, I would.
