Photo bump for a sadly quiet thread...
We ended up getting up to the Lost World that weekend in June, found some fun stuff. Not all areas we climbed are pictured, but if you wanna find out more you'll just have to hike your tired butt up there and explore for yourselves...

I'm looking forward to those cool Fall days on the north side of the canyon. There's much to be done. Anyone checked out Crystal Wall? It hosts Tumbledown House, an airy 5.11 that climbed a very unique band of rock for two pitches.

from Monday of Labor Day weekend. Cloudburst Canyon, there were half a dozen cars in the parking area. Great weather.
We did five climbs up on the 2nd tier on the right side of the canyon.
Tom, Dave, Brian gearing up in morning sun.
Dave on the easiest one
rock, rock, everywhere
had this thing to admire all day long
Dave leading up the right most climb, now in the welcome shade
neighbors on climbs further up canyon (sunlit slab on right, and crack behind tree on left)
a fine time was had by all

Can't comment on the Summer side graffiti, sounds pointless and stupid. but we did make our way up to the Winter side today...
The trail has been obstructed by I guess tons of forest service work, piles upon piles of manzanita and pine trees that have been completely cut out of the landscape. Not sure I understand why this was done, but the trail is pretty non existent down low anymore.
We didn't really have any objectives in mind, but wanted to end up on the hand of god formation and maybe do something on it to finish the day... We started out at Donnie G and scrambled our way through some pretty cool (mostly .9 and below) mostly virgin feeling and dirty terrain.
At the top of our wandering pitch #4, I built an anchor below an awesome but imposing corner system, that was slightly overhanging hands to fingers. It ended up being the highlight of the day and felt like it checked in at solid .10+.
By the time we got to the summit of HoG, it was raining, we tried to wait things out but conditions never really broke, so we bailed from there. cool day though!
Anyone know what this corner is? I think it is on or very near the Albatross formation?

I doubt they would ever be able to spot us, what with all the heaps of trash and hordes of people hitting up the fords these days. Times they are a changin. It was so bad this weekend we were the only car in the canyon...

Nice pics, Ty. Squeaked out some routes before the monster storm. Well done! Thanks for the beta, Sasha. It's fun piecing together all of the awesomeness the Fortress provides, one jam at a time...

Thanks Sasha, what are the ratings on either? Were we way off on our .10+ assessment of hand banana? switching from the slammer hands to the fingers was a bit testy...
Laine if this winter shows up for real, the Fords might end up being our go-to spot! not much else stays tolerable in real sierra winter scenarios.

I'll take that scenario any day! I remember post holing up to the Fortress in the winter of 2010-11 and climbing in freezing temps.
As any aside, Hound Mouth this Sat at Cargo???
