and great report. It's one I've wanted to do but the fossils are kind of tempting aren't they! I would hate to think tho that Parks would deny you to try based on age. And isn't the Truffle Pig the only restuarant in Field?
Thanks - The fossils are tempting but the $ 25,000 fine keeps your mind focused on looking versus collecting.
Truffle pigs is the only restaurant but it is good so I thought I would give it a good review.
Don't let the warden stories put you off as Stephen is a good climb and it is well worth the hassle.

Great!Awesome TR. Did you guys rope up for the class 5 stuff or just go for it? Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Great!Thanks for the comments.
Most of the scramble is class 3 or 4 but some parts are low fifth class and we just went for it.
Take care.

HelicopterVery nice! Did the helicopter pilot offer you a ride back? :)

Re: HelicopterThat would have been a lot easier on the knees. We joked with the pilot about a ride but he wouldn't go for it.
