| Climbed off the couch and onto this a few years back as a warm up to Oz. Beautiful route with sustained climbing on the last pitch. The hike off is really scenic as well. | |

| Climbed with Mike on a warm late summer day. Led Scandalous Summer (5.7), followed Cheeseburgers & Fries (5.8). Led pitch 1 and 3 of Bull Dozier (5.7), Mike led p2. Finally we swapped leads on Isostacy (5.8) - Mike led pitch one and three. Brought 60m half ropes for full-length rappels without having to walk off the dome. Beautiful day ! -- Also climbed Holdless Horror (5.6) three times (have led each pitch twice). | |

| Climbed this with the professor's little brother (aeger). Gave him the 2nd pitch and he did very well, I took the third and I was glad it was just as exciting. Did the whole route in four pitches, there was some gardening on the fourth pitch.. | |

| Mary and I did this route on a day trip to Tuolumne after I worked a bunch of night shifts in the ER. Left Fresno at 8:30AM, drove up to Tuolumne (I slept for an hour in the car), had lunch in the Meadows, and then climbed the route. Easy approach, fun climbing, and a beautiful descent. | |

| Climbed HH. Pitch 2 went som much better when I left the crack and face climbed. Beat the crowds, (lots of parties showed up as we started pitch 2) Great views from the top, but the best part is a super nice and scenic walk off. | |

| Fun, well protected route. The crack is for the pro and the face is for the climbing. There are a bunch of nice new knobby bolted routes to the left and right of HH. We did Bit-by-Bit and Ripple, both high quality 5.8. | |

| For being so close to the road, this was a nice uncrowded area to climb. No other parties on the whole formation. | |

| Climbed this with Rob as a warm-up/acclimatization outing before Mt. Darwin the next day; he led pitches 1 and 3, while I led 2 and 4. The offwidth was kind of awkward until I figured out I should just climb on the face around it, then it became trivial. (It's easier than the 5.7 rating given it on the route page here, more like easy 5th class if I recall correctly). Really fun climb, although we didn't head up to the actual summit (it looks like a walk up from the top of the route). | |

| thedus | Anniversary Climb up Holdless Horror Date Climbed: Oct 3, 2004 | |
| Robin and I marked our first anniversary by climbing in Yosemite. We intended to stay in Camp 4 (where we met) and climb in the Valley, but all camping was full, so instead we headed to the high country and climbed in Tuolumne. Holdless Horror was quite enjoyable, and turned out to be a great way to spend the afternoon. | |

| I led this route the day after hiking from Tuolumne to the Valley for a memorial service, at which I drank a lot of beer. These factors all gave me some concern as to my stability, but it ended up being a lot of fun. Holdless Horror is a cool crack route. Probably one of the best-protected 5.7s in Tuolumne. | |

| We climbed it on a nice sunny day. A fun route with a bit of offwidth. Another fun time in Tuolumne | |

| After climbing Cathedral Peak's SE Buttress on Sunday, on Labor Day (Monday) I climbed Holdless Horror with SCMA member Juan Carlos. I found this route to be a good beginner leader route. Plenty of places to place protection (particularly, nuts and aliens). A fun route, overall. | |

| After a casual approach, we alternated leads so Etsuko can try leading her very first off-width (2nd pitch). As we were on the 3rd pitch, thunderstorm clouds rolled in and covered the area. As we were on the 4th pitch, it started raining heavily. I saw a huge lightning hitting the top of Medlicott Dome right next to us. Once we topped out, we grabbed the rope and literally ran off towards Cathedral Lakes in our climbing shoes to find shelter. This was one of these semi-epics that stay in your memory for years and remind you of a wonderful time spent in the mountains. Fantastic! | |
