Ascents in Sierra Nevada as Clean

A lot of steep walking for an ok route, nice view from the top chill day, worth it if doing other routes in the area, can also watch the pros projecting Dawn Wall from the ledge

lap to clean and to see how far off a redpoint feels. it's all there knowing the moves, would just need to not slip or screw up

enjoyable and cruisy on TR; problem section was fine as steep jam without gear/rope in the way or a ledge to think about

Eva was stoked so I had clean up duty. Rad line, hands with some fists.

Very nice route. The start is the clear face climbing crux and can be hard if you‘re not warmed up or used to the rock. Bolted anchor on P1, with rap rings. After that, you need to build your own anchors. The jam crux, for me, was P3, a thin seam with finger jams and narrow toe jams, without too many opportunities to relax your feet on the face outside of the crack. Last pitch is runout to the top, no pro to be had.

Descent: Rap twice (with 60 m rope) on the backside of the dome. With 70 m you might be good woth a single rap, but you won‘t see in advance if your ropes touch the ground. The rap station is right next to a significant tree. The rap bolts should be replaced, very rusty. On solid ground, go right to descend to your car, or left to get back to the base — caution, you‘ll have to scramble down some low angle slab, but easy in the dry, even in sneakers.

Okay yeah I'm definitely in the valley aren't I. First pitch only

Led every single pitch on this route, I almost got sick of leading after topping it out. It took us 2 hours to find the repel station and I did the run repel which made me climb up again almost in darkness.

Nothing is better than climbing on this route.

Really good. Felt harder than knob job.
