looks like a real fun outing! So do you know if the normal driving apporach has reopened?
Thanks!

Re: Great page Dow!
No, no sign of them thinking about it either, I was there yesterday, did Overhanging Hangover (wicked roof) and Gobbler. Still only advise high clearance vehicle. You are welcome to grab one of mine if you need it. Interesting, I suppose folks think it is too hot, but yesterday we had all of Black Velvet Canyon to ourselves, from morning to evening, not another soul. Never seen that before. No climbers on Frongland either, not another vehicle or human on the road in or in the parking area. In reality, the canyon was perfect...long sleve wind shirt in afternoon. So I advise a visit mid May to be sure. 95F in Vegas if perfect climbing back here still. The refrigerator effect of the canyon is quite real. Cheers Radek.

nicely doneThorough description and photos (versus just a regurgitation of the guidebook). Thanks for your efforts.
