	Hasn't voted	Thanks Dean! Mt. Humphreys is a very imposing mountain. Humphreys Basin, where Mt. Humphreys is located, is quite pretty.

Ridge casting the shadow

Voted 10/10

Do folks climb this ridge much? It ascends from right to left toward the top and casts a shadow on the more easterly part of the mtn.

In fact, I was working in the Valley at the time and we went here and climbed it as a way to get away from Yosemite and the tourons on a weekend! The 5.4 is on the summit cone pitch and is the same as the finish for the East Arete - very cool and fun!

	Voted 10/10	You can study the 5.4 pitch on my video David. If you recall we got great footage of that crux part of the climb on my " best of " mountaineering dvd!

	Voted 10/10	I was a dishwasher in Curry Village. That wasn't as bad as it seems - when I had a split shift, I could climb between 10 - 5 , and taking 180 degree F. plates off the giant Hobart dishwashing machine without gloves on killed my nerve endings in my fingers, allowing fingertip face moves with no pain!!
