Not in the Sierra!

edit: Not the Needles, even though there is some Needles-quality rock here (to be fair there's also some sugary-junk type rock here as well...).

United States? Northern hemisphere? :)

In the western US - and here's some other hints:
- there's been climbing here for decades
- no info can be found online about this place
- it's public land, not in Wilderness, and you get cell phone reception at the crag
- and the big hint: there are no significant towns or cities anywhere near here

So, it's a place that nobody knows about unless you already know about it? Did Cortez leave a cursed treasure there? Seriously! Where is this place?

Granite Mtns, NV?

Thousand plus foot granite in the middle of nowhere - not Idaho or Arizona either...

Another hint - it's a few hours drive from here:

Vaguely near where?

Rob's got the right idea (not the correct range name but I think that's what he means), and this is holding people up - Wild Granites, Nevada

Greg, this is an area, not a climb. . . . BTW, I know this place, and that is all that I'm saying.

Well, I can see "Slab Happy Pinnacle" right in the middle. So which route are you asking about?

Rob Dillon · · Tamarisk Clearing · Joined Mar 2002 · Points: 760

I guess that one will work. You're up.

Where you at Crisco?

Its been more than 24 hours so I'm posting a pic on your behalf (which means you don't get to guess it):

Not fair to guess if you won't post a new pic!

Sorry...I've been getting outside on a trip to San Diego! And I can tell you, the route DK is on is 5.11b with a really fun dyno at the top. In other words, it's harder than it looks. This one could be really hard...

Christian "crisco" Burrell · · PG, Utah · Joined May 2007 · Points: 1,815

How about one that someone can actually see some of the route?
