Nevadans, |
|
Bump for a partner of mine. I'm also interested in this epic looking limestone. |
|
My girlfriend got a job working for BLM fire out here in ely. I just arrived today and will be around for a couple days, but back and forth from Tahoe to visit my lady friend for the next few months. Seems like there is some sick limestone! Went out today and explored around Hercules gap, rose/mondo cave, and cave lake state park. Incredible! Saw a few developed routes that looked awesome and endless opportunity for new routes. I'd love to link up and grab on some rocks! If you're around send me a message. I know absolutely nothing about the area, but am pretty stoked. Here are some cliff photos from the spots I saw today |

Is your girlfriend a hot fit blonde surrounded by fat dudes? |

I'm trying to find out more about the climbing around here, so far I've heard about some developed routes at Rose Cave, which I believe I have found and a handful of routes at Hercules Gap which I definitely found. Does anyone have directions to or info on some of the other places I have heard of like Crankenstien Corral, Table Rock or some of the climbing right outside of Cave Lake State Park? I would appreciate any aid, thanks.I am sorry climbing friend, for you it will be nothing but rednecks and senior citizens. good luck on your looking for the climbings rocks. |

RRGEllis, you nailed it. See her around somewhere? |
|
My fire crew is just helping out on the ely district and we were just laughing to ourselves wondering how a fit person ended up here. |

Haha, Aleks did you live here for a while or something? Monkeyman, I must keep missing you out there man, I was going to check out some of the stuff outside the park yesterday but got rained out after work. I would love to help out developing as well if thats what your in to. I haven't put in a bolt but based on all the potential around here it would be a fun undertaking. I also checked out the terraces this weekend off highway 6 going SW of Ely and did find a bolted route out there, I need to look a little more to see what else is there. I think I will be out of town this weekend but my number is 307-640-1316 so let me know next time you're in Ely |

climbing friend, |
|
Do locals publish info on this? |
|
Hey BJ, |
|
Sorry BG not BJ |
|
Thanks Mark, I'll do that. |
|
Have you seen Joe Kinder's blog? |
|
I have! And I also found those routes which look pretty stout |
|
Not *exactly* local, but...the Ibex area isn't too far over the Utah line from there, and it's a GREAT area. |
|
Sweet!! Im in the Reno area..this would be a fun trip, esp. in cool temps |
|
It will be interesting to see what's still in during the winter around here. Ely sits at 6,400 ft with most of the climbing areas at 7,000ish |

Hi Mark (and others in the Ely area), |
|
Hey Molly, |
|
Great, thanks Mark. Recovering from a sprained ankle right now (stupid bouldering) but when I'm healed up to explore I'll definitely give you a holler! |
