Sun 24th Nov 2013 - Valley Of The Rogue | ||||||
Emigrant Lake Aqua Wall and Aqua Cave | ||||||
5.11d | ★★★ Sniff | 9m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Damn that was fun. Mother Nature crafted some wonderful handholds up the underside of this cave. The guide book describes the route as "contrived until you try it" and I'd agree. It felt strangely natural to stick to the steepest line. Fun knee bar! Tightly bolted -- I'll have to try this again on lead!
|
||||||
5.10b | ★★ Aqua Man | 20m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Link up. Clipped first 2 bolts of Captain Horatio Horn Blower, traversed right and finished on Aqua Man starting from the 2nd bolt. Good fun. Also led to a more interesting (and sustained) route.
|
||||||
5.8 | ★ Pet Cemetery | 24m, 4 | Average | |||
TR'ed a (5/8/5.9) line mixing Beyond the Siskiyou Sky and this route. Some fun cracks and bulges to overcome.
|
||||||
5.8 | ★ Pet Cemetery | 24m, 4 | Average | |||
with Laura. A couple of bolt placements were a bit awkward. Twice I placed gear only to find a bolt later. I personally thought the rock quality was least conducive to gear at the only spot where bolts are lacking! Still, there were a few fun moves and interesting pockets on the route.

Thu 14th Nov 2013 - Yosemite National Park | ||||||
Yosemite Valley El Capitan Southwest Base Area | ||||||
5.10a | ★★★ Moby Dick, Center | 58m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
P1 only. Fingers to hands to fists to offwidth, this had it all. Very sustained. Pulling the bulge at the top felt like the easiest move on the route!
|
||||||
5.9 | ★★ La Cosita, Right | 27m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Super polished liebacking leads up to tight jams that I wish went on forever.
|
||||||
5.11a | ★★ Sparkling Give-away | 18m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Mantel crux is sharp and height dependent, but the moves were all very fun.
|
||||||
5.8 | ★★ La Cosita, Left | 18m | ★★★ Classic | |||
with Adam. Super fun steep climbing requires a variety of techniques. Very easy to protect.
|
||||||
Wed 13th Nov 2013 - Yosemite National Park | ||||||
Yosemite Valley Three Brothers Eagle Creek Area Manure Pile Buttress | ||||||
5.8 | ★★★ The Nutcracker Suite (Nutcracker) | 180m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Led P1, P3, P5 with Adam. The mantel is heady, but so is P4. Very fun.
|
||||||
Mon 11th Nov 2013 - Yosemite National Park | ||||||
Yosemite Valley Three Brothers Middle Brother Camp 4 Wall | ||||||
5.9 | ★★ Doggie Deviations | 30m, 1 | ★★ Very Good | |||
My first roped solo aid. Slooow. Maybe ~1ft/min. C1 or C2? The tree at the base makes an excellent anchor.
|
||||||
Sun 10th Nov 2013 - Yosemite National Park | ||||||
Yosemite Valley Yosemite Falls Lower Yosemite Falls Swan Slab | ||||||
5.6 | ★★★ Bay Tree Crack | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
with Jan. The Bay Tree is a bit awkward and comes at the crux. Slung two boulders for top anchor.
|
||||||
5.6 | ★ Oak Tree Flake | 30m | ★ Good | |||
with Jan.
|
||||||
Wed 16th Oct 2013 - Redwood Coast | ||||||
Patrick's Point Wedding Rock Area Wedding Rock | ||||||
5.8 | ★★★ Zig Zag | 15m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Headed up the wide crack with time. Fun fun fun. If the sun hadn't just set, we would have played around on it for another hour. A great spot at sunset.
|
||||||
5.8 | ★★★ Zig Zag | 15m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Incredibly polished rock, but lots of hidden jugs. My lack of wide gear forced me to lead up the left of the two cracks in the middle of the route, which felt at least 5.9. A #5 C4 would have been nice.
|
||||||
Wed 16th Oct 2013 - Redwood Coast | ||||||
Patrick's Point Ceremonial Rock | ||||||
5.10a | ★★ Price's Crack | 24m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I didn't see any opportunities for pro in the middle of the route, so we top-roped it. There appear to be two options above the first crack: Head up and right on face climbing (runout), or traverse right on the grassy ledge until you reach the next crack (pendulum, rope drag). A bit chossy at the crux.
|
||||||
5.6 | ★★ South Face | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
with Laura.
|
||||||
5.6 | ★★ South Face | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
with Laura. Better than it looks, with some fun moves. At 5.6, it's still not a gimme. Might be 5.7.
