Just a pic of the crag, nothing fancy, maybe it'll help outta towners find it.

Vicente Planelles enjoying nice fall weather on the Egg.

As viewed from the Sail, this crag sits above the Egg, East of the Sail. I believe it has been climbed, but have no info about the routes. Looks like Mexican Crack! There is also a crack on the white face on the right side (south facing) aspect, not visible in photo. A pretty long hike, but it appears possible to reach by climbing/scrambling from the top of the Egg.

Unknown climber on the Coffin, Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah.

Bong Bong Firecracker (5.7) is the handish crack left of center, Flying Dutchman (10.c) is the thin, curving crack in the middle, and Wilson-Love (5.8+) is the widish crack on the right.

Triple Overhangs, 2005. I've been wanting to repeat this line years, and finally found someone else dumb enough to endure the approach. Photo by belayer Vicente Planelles, who thinks the reward justified the hike.

Taken from the Meadow on the Draper Ridge at about 9000 feet, approaching the Cirque. Still over a mile and 1400 vertical to go!

Alpenglow in Lone Peak Cirque. This a photoshop of two frames...the cirque is a challenge without a wide angle lens!

This is the 5.6 mantle cuux on the South Face, assuming you follow the reccommended route. I climbed a short crack just below this that felt 5.7ish, so the rope would run a little straighter.

Mick was the second climber to climb Super Crack that day. The first was a soloist who sent the route in about 2 minutes, so fast that we didn't have time to get a photo.

This climb whupped my ass, and I'm not ashamed to admit it, either. Thin hands start, a couple short OW sections, nice hand jams, and some stemming at the finish! If you're bored of vertical splitters where it's the same move over and over... take a turn on The Gorilla.

Another shot of Mary on Coyne Crack....when I find out her name, I'll post a comment. She was way burly! Indian Creek, where girls hike 11s, and struggle on 10s, (thanks to their little hands and toes!).

Burly gurl on a burly route! Barely 5 feet, 100lbs with some big guns. After some grunting on the initial moves, she cruised the crack once it widenned to .75 - 1 camalot size. Name is Mary something.... Tracy help me out here.

Mike Swanicke and Mick Jurynec summitting S. SixShooter on S. Face Direct, 5.9.

On top of South Six Shooter after climbing the South Face. A nice, relaxing outing after 2 days of getting worked on 5.10 splitters! Some loose/crumbly rock on the route, but a great summit! Short enough you could do this and then the S. Face Direct (5.9) or TR the 5.10 Diagonal Crack at the base.

Vicente (aka "trsitan")at the first crux of Gordon's. His advice: if you lead it in one pitch....take lots of draws! Photo by Pete Gram with permission.

Ganitegod on Touch Up, Photo by Peter Gram with permission. How can such a short traverse give you such a pump? A beefy sling tied though the eye of the fixed pin would be nice instead of having to thread it every time!

A stimulating lead.....I'd only TR'd this the last several years...out of laziness I guess. Somewhat sustained, with some thin smears and thinner gear. Small but good stoppers, just where you need 'em. Photo by Peter Gram with permission.

Charlie Rawlings with some cord out, studying the crux of the Kor Ingalls, March 94. Intimidating to say the least. We bailed on this attempt. As of 10/03, the crux pitch has 2 bolts, and I found a decent hex placement on a chockstone, making the crux reasonably well protected. The 5.8 chimney above, however, is still quite scintillating.

Charlie Rawlings leading the second pitch of K-I, circa 1994.

Charlie Rawlings at grabs the chains on Flakes of Wrath, early 90's. Nice gear spacing, Chuck. Despite increasing numbers of climbers, this and most climbs on Wall Street are holding up nicely, I'm happy to report. After my first wall st climbs over 10 years ago, I still love 'em, though they feel slightly easier now. photo by me

Looks a little more 5.9 from this angle.....Pete Jones, on top rope, early 90's. Top roping is REALLY hurting this route. Rope gooves are eating the crux! If you must TR, Belay from the anchor on top. Rappell off, angling to the right, pull rope from the road. Respect the rock. Photo by unknown bystander with my camera.

Wall Street classic, one of the few 5.8s, crux is getting off the ground (TCU for pro). Beginning 5.8 leaders might find this stout! Taken by Mark Michaels, climber: unknown.

Mark Michaels leading Bad Moki, Wall St, 9 or 9+ depending on who you ask. Sure looks steep from this angle!....not so much. Photo by Charlie Rawlings, early 1990's.

Bob Copenhafer, Stoli, and Woozul enjoy the alpenglow. While we enjoyed their company in camp, the dogs got their ass kicked on the hike. My advice: leave the hounds at home when climbing at Lone Peak. Photo by granitegod

The fact that few climbers outside Salt Lake (and many IN Salt Lake) never journey to the cirque astonishes me.....sure the hike's a bitch, but look at your reward! Photo by mark michaels

Mark Michaels, just past the crux of Triple Overhands, 10a, on Lone Peak. Perfect granite, incredible exposure with excellent protection make this one of my top 5 routes ever! If only I had a llama for the approach.... Photographer/belayer: Bob Copenhafer.

Cameron leading the 5.8 second pitch or the Kor-Ingalls. Cameron onsighted every pitch. Next time, we'll sick him on Black Sun or the North Face!! We climbed Castleton with 2 teams of 2, and Cameron was on the heels of the SECOND of team 1 the whole route. subject: Cameron Walker Photog: Mark Michaels

Team MPV, part 2. Cameron onsighted every pitch of the Kor-Ingalls, his first desert tower. Meg followed him without difficulty! Two young kids who have yet to reach their climbing potential. Cameron Walker, Megan Polk. Taken by Mark Michaels/granitegod.

Vicente is from Spain. He no climb wide cracks and chimneys much before we do Kor Ingalls. He likes it very much! Vicente Planelles in frame, taken by granitegod. Kodak Max disposable camera, 800 speed.

We summited Castleton via the K - I route at 4:15 PM on 10/25/03. The other teams on the tower attempting the North Chimney, were defeated by the cold north wind, while we basked in the sun all afternoon. Subject: Mark Michaels; Photographer: Vicente Planelles
