I haven't been posting much this season due to working on opening a not for profit climbing gym co-op (which takes up 90% of my free time) - Please feel free to support the project and find out info here - http://prclimbinggym.com/
In other news, a crew has been living in the Eldred over the season. Here's a peak at a route they've put up. Topo should be available in the camp site by now on the bulletin board.
From Evan Guilbalt's FB post:
"
Pitch 1 of "Building Gondolin" New Route using parts of Afternoon Delight going up the right side of Carag-Dur. 4-5 pitches of sustained 5.10 crack climbing...More info to come. Lots of new routing going on in The Valley."

| Pitch 1 |
Though at least this pitch is actually an old route, it was long abandoned about 10 years ago. It had been recleaned about 4 years ago, but not beyond the original two pitches and had since grown over again. There were two adjacent lines (one up the splitter and one to the right of the flake) to the same anchor. However, now, this is a 4 pitch line, and it appears that the obvious crack is what was re-cleaned.
To get to it, hike the carag dur trail to the top and walk right along the base of the wall. You can't miss it.
