awesome, best of luck on it! 

Definitely needed. So many new routes.

Just today I climbed with someone that wasn't familiar with the Reid Free climbs book from 94.

My list has 2 routes on Moraine Dome (although they are aid climbs)

Do tell Clint?  I am planning a trip this year.

Cool info on the new YO guide, which will surely be a welcomed with open arms.

They are fairly short aid routes:

2155. Minerals' Manufacturing Plant A3?, 2 pitches, FA: Eric Kohl, Bryan Law, 8/01
2156. Assembly Line A3?, 1 pitch, FA: Bryan Law, 6/01

Didn't figure it would be long before you found this spot Clint. You dialed up Patterson info nicely. Looking forward to see your work in book form.

So much rock out there.  We just did a big 20 mile day hike loop from LYV to Clouds Rest, then down to Echo Valley and down back to LYV.  I'll have to post a picture of Bunnell Point and some of the other domes and slabs out there.

BTW - does anyone know if routes have been done on the "Pinnacles" between Quarter Dome and Clouds Rest or the steep cliff above Echo Valley to the north?

That would be cool to see your photos. Bummer so much was burned down, though, sounds like there are some bright spots anyway.

Would love to see your photos too! I'm kinda obsessed with all sierra domes, and I haven't seen any decent pics of the small domes east and southeast of Sunrise High Sierra Camp. I'm sure there were many others along the way. One of these days I gotta just go backpacking again!

Don't know about any ascents on those remote formations you mention, but someone must out there in the world.

the larger clouds rest pinnacle


se face of the pinnacle


unnamed cliff above echo valley.  so much more not in view, but check out the splitters left of the arête feature


not Moraine dome.  Sugarloaf dome??


Bunnell Point


Bunnell Point slabs


Bunnell Point slabs and the neighboring slab that I don't think are the cascade cliffs


There is so much more out there.  There is a little dome below clouds rest and tons of slabs down in the Merced.

the clouds rest pinnacle reminds me of shuteye.

not sure what side of Bunnell Golden Bear is on, but I assume it is the on the north wall left of the slabby area.  A photo overlay of it would be cool.

 :) Great pics! Thanks for sharing! The one looks like Sugarloaf to me, and I believe those are indeed the Cascade Cliffs in the other shot. East face of Bunnel looks to have the steepest terrain, but haven't heard about any routes over there.
