Drop me a line if you want to go boulder or TR some of the cliffs at the Res. I believe Ken Nichols pulled the bolts from Endeavor, they were gone last time I climbed up there, didn't realize it till I rapped down to set our anchor. It was a true bummer!

I was last there on Sunday 1/7 and there are no bolts to be had. You’ll have to hang a super long anchor line or use the old trees on the ledge.

We led Endeavor and The Big and for the first time I went all the way to the top of The Big on lead on walked off. I never realized what a sweet line The Big is from start to finish. It really goes well the whole distance and gobbles up gear nicely.

Between those two leads and the top roping on the main face it sure makes Reservior a worthy crag.

It looks like the weather is beginning to finally turn this season but if we have more worm days I’d be interested in getting out there again soon.

Paul.

Hey bro I know you are in a good place and that's what counts. It was time for you to move to bigger mountains anyway. Good to hear from you. Hope you are still riding that road bike :)
