Description
Looking for people to join me for the following this summer/fall. For some, I already have partners lined up, but others are just climbs I still have on my wishlist:
Technical rock:
Mt. Sill (Swiss Arete)
Temple Crag (Venusian Blind)
Matthes Crest traverse
Charlotte Dome (South Face)
Cathedral Peak (SE Buttress)/Eichorn Pinnacle
Bear Creek Spire (North Arete)
Shepherd Crest (NW Face)
Lone Pine Peak (NE Ridge)
Ice:
Feather Peak (Feather Couloir)
North Peak (North Couloir)
Mt. Dana (Dana Couloir)
Mt. Gilbert (North Couloir)
Scrambles/short technical rock:
(I'd prefer to solo most of these routes, but may rope up for short sections, e.g. especially the crux sections on the EF)
Morgan Pass-Cox Col traverse (including Bear Creek Spire NE Ridge)
North Pal (via the U-Notch/chimney)-Polemonium-Sill traverse
Mt. Whitney (East Face)
Mt. Darwin (North Face)
Thor Peak (Stemwinder)
Mt. Humphreys (East Arete)
I prefer to do stuff car-to-car in a day whenever possible (i.e. pretty much always in the Sierra). Lead up to about 5.6 or so, follow to about 5.8... I hope to improve that this summer!
Hikes/scrambles:
I also have a few long (in some cases, very long) dayhikes on my agenda for the summer, or next summer if I don't squeeze them in this year. I don't need partners for any of these, but figured I'd post them here in case anyone was interested:
Devils Crags #1
Black Kaweah
Charybdis/Black Giant
Scylla
Picket Guard Peak
Norman Clyde Peak
Tehipite Dome
Mt. Stanford/Mt. Ericsson
Seven Gables (East Face)
Glacier Ridge
Mt. Darwin (West Ridge) -- if I don't climb the North face first
Mt. Carl Heller (East Arete)
Mt. Reinstein
Mt. Ruskin

| Thanks! I'm sure I'll still be pottering around the Sierra and looking for partners next summer... | Posted Jun 10, 2006 11:56 pm |
murraymcleod | Are you still alive?? | |
| I see no posts after last Spring....did you survive your wish list (especially those little "one-day" jaunts!)? | Posted Jan 4, 2007 10:06 pm |
| Matthew Holliman | Re: Are you still alive?? | |
| Yep, I'm still alive! I had to spend a good part of the summer over in China for work, so I only made it to a few of those objectives (Darwin's North Face, Black Kaweah, Norman Clyde), so most of the list had to be postponed... but hopefully I'll make some inroads this summer! | Posted Jan 9, 2007 9:37 pm |
| Matthew Holliman | Re: interested | |
| Cool, I'll be in touch if/when I head out to those. | Posted Mar 6, 2007 3:07 pm |

blueshade | Sierras, Yosemite 2011 | |
| Hey, if you're still looking for partners these days, I'm planning a trip to the Sierras and Yosemite, probably in July. I'm looking at climbs such as Conness, Matthes Crest, Palisade Traverse, and Cathedral Range Traverse.
