Apparently when you are from Colorado you haven't learned how to park at a trailhead to allow parking in a limited space.

Hiking out on the ridge line after yet another amazing day!

This is the Tufa City as see from the Karma Cave, The word is "Tufa"

Looking into the canyon from the East ridge. Marley Wall and Tufa City in the full sun, Finland Terrace in the part sun/part shaded wall, just left of that is the exit gully and the far right end of Slate Nation, the small cliff ban above SN is the far right end of Mouse Wall, and North Butt is the closer shaded wall on the left.

New 3rd Gate

Apparently, as per the other 2 photos, if you are from Colorado you'll screw up access for us locals. Don't be the idiots from Colorado!

Some kind of intrusion (?) on Knuckle Sandwich. Pretty common for the area, and very cool. They also come in an orange brick form. Geology geeks can fill me in.

Fossils

Another intrusion thingy, also toward the top of Knuckle Sandwich.

A unique and widely known stone along the upper ridge approach trail, before it disappeared roughly ten years ago.

The sunsets here are amazing.

Normal Like You (12a). I don't like to take extreme close-ups of chalky, slapping hands... I am partial to the rope-in-mouth shot, though. Photo by Hillary Davis.

Rough road still! 12/22/12

Did a lot of trail work this year at the Homestead. This is just one set of steps that is part of 69 new steps we did up to Tufa City. I'm very proud to be part of a (very small) group of Climbers that's not afraid of spending a little time and money at The Homestead.

Road map with labels. It's about 1.5 miles from the road to the AF trailhead/camping area, then an additional 0.5 mile to the head of the canyon. Depending on the crag you are heading to, hiking from the low parking would be about 60 min - 2 hrs.
