Hey Friedo - that sounds really fun, I've never been to Wright's Lake. We went out to Dick's Lake. Though it was too windy to swim we found several fun boulder problems along the way.

Too much rock out there to comprehend. The stuff way above the south side of Eagle lake looks really. As does the stuff to the north. Anyone know of any activity done up there?

Laine,
Looks awesome! I've camped at Dicks Lake a couple of times. Some good rock out there. You should check out the wrights Lake area sometime. Great climbing in the South Tahoe guidebook. Amazing hiking and swimming galore!!!

Jebus,
Is The Mohel that 10d roof to finger crack on the east facing wall of Woodcutters? That thing is AWESOME!!!

I really enjoy The Left Seam on Woodcutters as well. I'd take a couple hundred feet of that any day!!!

Hey Woodford fans,
Short notice but anybody interested in exploring these beauties tomorrow, fri...
They are way above Cloudburst Canyon, 1000 feet or so. I know the way that's a pretty mellow approach. Good cv workout though, too.
I'd like to throw down a toprope on a couple of these towers to see how this very hard conglomerate climbs. That's the interest.
Want to come along? Early morning start, I imagine.

Hey cragsters, saw a Woodfords bear this morning...
Silent as a mountain oyster, I was able to watch her a whole minute or so before she sensed something was up.
In these here parts...

Besides eagle lake or the leap, are there other good crags or bouldering areas around Tahoe for this heat?
I'm over it. It's too hot.

chim,
Burn, it's in the backcountry off Ebbet's Pass. A 4.25 mile approach with a 1900 foot altitude gain, luckily mostly on trail.
Looks very interesting, and sounds very interesting, can you post a google map with location please. Thanks.

Chim-chim, and czar,
Looks cool!!, I have hiked and skied over most of that area have not seen that. Looks sort of like Henry Peak but more solid, but I have not been even there for years. I guess it is south of pass along the crest. I would love to go there if you you post or PM directions that would be cool. Be glad to haul in some gear for you.
Cheers
Jeff

Thanks- I think I met Woodsfords local at Bear- he was doing a class for MAS, but I forgot his name. I would guess he would know most of you. I think he lives in Minden and has worked for MAS for the 8 years. But he looked like a kid to me.

Yeah Dan, I dream about the Yos backcountry! I'd love to hit up the Basalt, too. That photo of you on Shoulder Country got me all fired up. I'll be in town from August 5th - 11th. Maybe we could get a day or two in then.
In the mean time keep putting up routes! I'm psyched to get up there and try 'em.
Ryan
Tell Dave he should post up those pics again, will ya? It keeps me going when I'm stuck in places like El Centro, CA in July.

A few of my buddies were out at Woodfords this weekend and snapped a few photos. Pretty sick looking rock! Motivates me to make a visit!
Name this route!
Photos by Adam Sheer.
Anyone know who did the FA of the above route? Has it seen many ascents? My friends raved about it.
Could someone write me up a list of the best woodfords cracks in the 11c->13a range?
I saw a few up thread: Goldenshower, Center Route.
Thanks!
 Luke
