Hi, having been absent for a long time due to injuries, I am today returning to this page finding it new and different. I used to print maps of a specific trail, but can't find my way around.

East Wilmans Spire has a lot of info on the Std. Route but can't find info on the other two Wilmans spires. There is one photo of Bill Rowe climbing gulley just below comet mine ledge.

I'm staying in Fraser and have a rental car. All the ...
so far, I have just spent a lot of time reading through SP - A great place to start gathering info!

Does anybody have any information regarding the current access to and status of the Shepherd Pass trail post-Tropical Storm Hillary? I was planning on heading up there next week but from Inyo County Roads Department information it looks like the roads to the trailhead are closed.
