攀登 in Emigrant Lake

Fun final move... Felt easy for 5.10a

Clean and quick

Fun warm up

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!

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.

TR'ed a (5/8/5.9) line mixing Beyond the Siskiyou Sky and this route. Some fun cracks and bulges to overcome.

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.
