looking sketchy there...



Social climber Latitute 33 Oct 17, 2010 - 11:45am PT It is amazing how many new excellent climbs have been ferreted out at Tahquitz since that article appeared. Bob Gaines is particularly to be credited for his new route efforts.



There are several factual errors and incomplete information (that came to my attention after the article appeared). The information on shoe development in the 1950s and 60s wasn't entirely accurate and Mark Powell's (and others) influence in introducing the Decimal System in Yosemite wasn't really fleshed out.



Also, I think it important to note that the bottom part of Chingadera had not been climbed free by Mark Powell as mentioned, but that Bob Kamps was the force in freeing the entire route and did an amazing job of bolting it on the lead.
