20090813 Stoddard Peak, and a crag by the road
Posted: Fri Aug 14, 2009 12:31 pm
I took a hike up Barret-Stoddard Road, trying to get into Cascade Canyon. Couldn't find a simple, non-bushwhack way into Cascade CYN, so I kept going and hiked up Stoddard Peak.

Hiked over to the crag, and scrambled most of the way up a line until I felt uncomfortable without a rope.

Scoping the crag out. I went up just to the left of the white waterfall in the middle of the crag.

Cool overhanging boulder with nothing on it whatsoever.

Something else that moved like a robot. I think it too was a bug (uses a proboscis).

Overhanging.
I found no bolts or pro on the crag. I saw two small holes that looked like someone had tried to place bolts in the rock, only to go into bad rock which turned to sugar.
