I spent last July in Vegas; Turtle peak was one of my faves. I got cliffed out on that same east side the first time I "ran" it. That gully from Calico is indeed killer; found frogs in there in 110 degree heat in potholes. Also climbed a killer peak to the west of Turtle close the Spring mts, and ran up Frenchman peak every morning, which is chill. Mt Charleston, if you havent been there, is another amazing world.Dave Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582815873942037665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-24081185803352731132013-03-29T09:39:43.524-07:002013-03-29T09:39:43.524-07:00Teetering choss - sounds kinda like Colorado!

Dunno, just looking at it from T'Head, it looks like it needs to be done.<br /><br />And, yup, see you in CA!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-41124395721147794252013-03-28T09:01:30.188-07:002013-03-28T09:01:30.188-07:00Nick, I have done lots of climbing in most of the ...Nick, I have done lots of climbing in most of the big canyons back there and have been on Wilson, Rainbow, Bridge and Whiskey peaks. Most of the peaks are sketchtastic with loose heaps of teetering choss to negotiate. Miles of piles! Wondering exactly what the "Rainbow Mountain Traverse" entails. Here is a good beta site I uncovered to find some hidden climbing locales: http://www.birdandhike.com/<br />I would love to meet up and combine some running and adventuring. I get down there a few times most winters. See you at Squaw- maybe we can discuss it a bit there.Stay Verticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17227232986210817496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-25666214994217676502013-03-27T15:11:16.235-07:002013-03-27T15:11:16.235-07:00Jeremy - I'm a bit weak in the head these days...Jeremy - I'm a bit weak in the head these days for too much time-trialing, which is probably why I came up by a non-standard route. And, yes, the whole Spring Mountains area is just phenomenal. Maybe we can coordinate next winter/spring and knock out that Rainbow Mountain traverse with a few of the locals. I'm told those mountains (peaks) are pretty lightly traveled, which means a lack of beta and therefore an added element of adventure.<br /><br />Mike - ah, yes, the gaming. That part not so good. I think ... check that, I know ... I lost every time I sat down. Good job gambling time was pretty restricted on this visit.

A great way to break up the Idaho winter. When I saw Turtlehead, I was hoping to see that you time-trialed it. Wanted to see what you could do on it. Red Rocks is a fine running and world class climbing venue. Several lifetimes of adventure up there.Stay Verticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17227232986210817496noreply@blogger.com
