Yesterday tramping around in the bushes and scrambling across crumbly summits in search of a crazy looking overhanging offwidth was the most Yoesmite-ish I've felt around here since moving to LA almost 3 years ago. Not multi-pitch, and we weren't ripping it up on lead, but the overall experience was pretty darn fun and left me with a grin stuck on my face :)
Thanks Batrock!

Repping Da Brim even when you're not wearing one, you're dedicated man. You should get free Da Brims.

Guy, we parked at Islip Saddle and hiked the trail to a point about 50 yards from the top of the climb. Next time I'll approach from one of the lower climbs but the trail is a pretty mellow approach.

Wow... so you guys found a new crag......
Jeffery..... you don't own it, you have only made the down payment.
$3,000 down payment in bolts n anchors...... there is still a ton more to pay. LOL.....
Just keep this quiet.... when its discovered that there is multi-pitch sport climbing, just off the road, the place will no longer be the quiet backwater crag that only a few climber use.

Did not find a new crag we all have looked at that crack for a long time. I deemed it to short for my taste. I never said I owned the crag Guy lol really..
Thanks Rob..
