With Lindsay. First pitch only, a 10c finger crack. Freezing conditions. Rapt to onsight this - it was a tough little number
	5.9	Northwest Buttress	Unknown	Yosemite National Park		Susy G	Fri 16th Sep 2011
With Bernie. Epic! Cold and scary. ran P1 and P2 together The first pitch was fine but the end of the second was a mega thin pin scar crack. FFD - first free descent. Clam chowder and burgers a much better option

Did this Car-to-car in about 16 hrs. A very cool climb along an amazing feature. Interesting runouts, but only on 5.4 sections so its not too bad.
	5.10a 5.7 A0	★★★ Royal Arches Route	Trad 430m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Classic	Stephen Swanson	Tue 3rd Sep 2002
Very good route. Easy early on (can simul-climb much of the bottom). Very hot by the afternoon when rappeling. I believe this climb is 5.7 if you do the pendulum and 5.10 if you don't.

	VB	Unnamed Mantle	Boulder	Yosemite National Park		Sergey Komarov	Sun 15th May 2022

If I were clever, I would have scouted out the downclimbs before attempting this and know that this is actually the easiest way down.

	5.7	★★ Sloth Wall	Unknown 55m	Yosemite National Park	Average	Scott Harris	Fri 24th Jun 2011
good beginner "multi-pitch" route for placing some trad gear down low and belaying a second.
	5.8 C1 5.8 C1 V	★★★ South Face	Aid 370m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Classic	Scott Godwin	Fri 31st May 2013
Got a late start, made it to dinner ledge on first afternoon. Spent a beautiful clear night under the stars watching the lights of other climbers on half dome. Climbed the kor roof pitch the next day, but Laura had a lot of trouble cleaning. After two hours hanging in the harness struggling to clean the lip it was time to retreat. More lowerout and steep cleaning practice required.
	5.10a 5.7 A0	★★★ Royal Arches Route	Trad 430m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Scott Godwin	Wed 5th Jun 2013
With Laura. Pitched the whole thing in about 9 hours. Would simulclimb most of it next time. Super classic route. The swing was heaps of fun.
	5.10c	★★★ East Buttress	Mixed trad 360m, 9	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Classic	Scott Godwin	Sat 8th Jun 2013
With Laura. 1st five pitches went well and were done in 2 or 3 hours, then my upset guts started to get the better of me. Climbed the next five pitches in blazingly hot conditions while carrying a reeking poo bag and getting increasingly sick and dehydrated. Pulled on a lot of gear in the final pitches. Pitch 10 looks awesome, but by that stage I was reduced to aiding almost everything, so I didn't get to find out what the free moves were like. I'll be back to climb this again in better style.
	5.10a	★★★ Fifty Crowded Variation	Mixed trad 30m, 4	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Scott Godwin	Sat 8th Jun 2013
Fantastic climbing. One of the best pitches I did in the valley.
	5.10c	★★★ Generator Crack	Trad 18m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Scott Godwin	Sun 2nd Jun 2013
Top roped for offwidth practice. Bloody hard! Got the hang of the stacks eventually and managed to thrash my way up it.
	5.10d	★★ Conductor Crack	Trad 15m	Yosemite National Park	★★ Very Good	Scott Godwin	Sun 2nd Jun 2013
Got completely shut down on lead and decided to top rope instead. Way harder than it looks.
	5.8	★★★ The Nutcracker Suite (Nutcracker)	Trad 180m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Scott Godwin	Wed 29th May 2013
1st route in yosemite valley! Great intro to slippery Yosemite laybacking and friction.
	5.6	★★★ The Grack, Center Route	Trad 120m	Yosemite National Park	★★ Very Good	Scott Godwin	Mon 3rd Jun 2013
Laura led p1, then we bailed due to approching storm clouds. Downclimbed 1st pitch.
	5.11a	★★ Just do me	Mixed trad 26m, 7	Yosemite National Park	★ Good	Scott Godwin	Fri 31st May 2013
Top roped by climbing "second thoughts" first. Seemed pretty hard.
	5.10a	Second Thoughts	Mixed trad 26m, 5	Yosemite National Park	Average	Scott Godwin	Fri 31st May 2013
Contrived.
	5.10c	★★ New Suede Shoes	Mixed trad 21m, 7	Yosemite National Park	★★ Very Good	Scott Godwin	Fri 31st May 2013
Really fun climbing. A bit chossy at the top.
	5.10a	★ Warm up crack	Mixed trad 18m, 4	Yosemite National Park	★ Good	Scott Godwin	Fri 31st May 2013
Fun.
	5.9	★★★ West Crack	Trad 210m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Classic	Scott Godwin	Fri 24th May 2013
With Laura. 1st pitch only then bailed because we didn't bring enough warm clothes!
	5.8	★ Alimony Cracks	Trad 30m	Yosemite National Park	★ Good	Scott Godwin	Thu 23rd May 2013
With Laura
	5.10a	★★ Fingertips	Sport 49m, 6	Yosemite National Park	★★ Very Good	Scott Godwin	Thu 23rd May 2013

	5.10a	★★ Great Circle (Great Cicle)	Mixed trad 50m, 5	Yosemite National Park		Scott Godwin	Mon 27th May 2013
Got rained off. Bailed from the 1st bolt of p1.
	5.8	★★ Honeymoon's Over	Trad 24m	Yosemite National Park	★★ Very Good	Scott Godwin	Mon 27th May 2013
Freezing cold conditions. Couldn't feel my hands!
	5.8	★ Guide cracks (centre)	Trad 24m	Yosemite National Park	★ Good	Scott Godwin	Mon 27th May 2013
Freezing cold!
	5.7	★★ West Country	Mixed trad 120m, 3	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Classic	Scott Godwin	Wed 22nd May 2013
With Laura. Awesome route. Nice laybacking and slab climbing on upper pitches. The slab descent sucks though. We left a nut and rapped off it rather than commit to the slippery wet death slab.
	5.6 5.6 III	★★★ Southeast Buttress	Alpine 220m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Scott Godwin	Sat 25th May 2013
With Laura. For some dumb reason we decided to do this on saturday of the memorial day weekend. Route was uber crowded, but still ultraclassic.
	5.6	★ Hot Crossed Buns	Trad 47m	Yosemite National Park	★ Good	Scott Godwin	Tue 21st May 2013
First route in Tuolumne.
	5.8	★★ Church Bowl Lieback - with Nathanael Hinton	Trad 37m	Yosemite National Park	★ Good	Scott Godwin	Fri 11th Oct 2019
Seconding Nate to squeeze in one more pitch before he left. Foot slipped on the glassy rock. First thing I fell off in Yosemite, and it was a bumbly classic.
	5.10d	★★★ Serenity Crack - with Nathanael Hinton	Trad 110m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Scott Godwin	Fri 11th Oct 2019
Amazing. Worth waiting in line for. Crux was powerful but very secure on bomber finger locks. Pretty happy to get the onsight. Rapped after serenity because of the huge crowds on Sons.
	5.7 A0 5.7 A0	★★★ Royal Arches Route - with Nathanael Hinton	Trad 430m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Classic	Scott Godwin	Thu 10th Oct 2019
About seven hours car to car. The raps took almost as long as the climb.
	5.9	★★★ Central Pillar of Frenzy - with Nathanael Hinton	Trad 170m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Scott Godwin	Wed 9th Oct 2019
Awesome, fun varied crack climbing. We were third on the route but it took all day due to a very slow party in front.
	5.6	★★ Munginella - with Nathanael Hinton	Trad 110m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Classic	Scott Godwin	Tue 8th Oct 2019
Raced up this at the end of a long day. It was snowing ash from the Briceburg fire as we were climbing.
	5.10a A0 5.11b	★★ Aid Route - with Nathanael Hinton	Mixed trad 55m, 3	Yosemite National Park	★★ Very Good	Scott Godwin	Tue 8th Oct 2019
Aided through the slippery bottom section with the drilled pockets. I led the crux second pitch clean. Really good. Glad we did this before serenity crack.
	5.10b	★★ Knuckleheads - with Nathanael Hinton	Sport 27m	Yosemite National Park	★★ Very Good	Scott Godwin	Mon 7th Oct 2019
Really good. Felt harder than knob job.
	5.9 C2 5.9 C2 VI	★★★ The Nose - with Andrew Godwin	Aid 1000m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Scott Godwin	Wed 2nd Oct 2019
Realisation of a long term dream to climb El Cap. This was our second attempt after the aborted effort a week earlier. Cheated a little bit by jugging fixed lines to Sickle, thereby skipping the first four pitches that we had already climbed the first time. Hauled to Sickle on a warm day, then waited for the cold weather to blast off. I was questioning our strategy while jugging the fixed lines in the cold rain at 2 am, but it blew over and we had great sunny, cool conditions for the next four days. Lost about four hours on the traverse into the stove legs when I got the lead rope stuck in a lower out sling. Had to wait for a couple of slow Canadians behind us to catch up and free it. Other than that it was smooth sailing to the top. Only saw two other parties on the route. A couple of fast Swiss guys passed us at camp IV, and Thomas and Christoph the crazy Germans climbed behind us from the great roof to camp VI, then went in front the next day. The bivy on top was magic, made even better by the deep sense of satisfaction that came from finally achieving a multi-year goal.
