| Stellar climb! Skied the chute in 2006, the climb and ski route are two of the best Sierra lines, all within view of lobster taquitos and gallons of beer! | |

| with Michal. Participated in a rescue when party above us suffered broken ankle. Lead P1, 3, 4, 5. This is a great route, not easy though. | |

| One of the best ends to a climb I have ever done. Had to leave the nut my partner jammed in at the crux because it started snowing. | |

| Great route, though somewhat chilly in October. The last pitch is amazing. | |

| This was on of the best climbs I have done. Great hike in, clean rock, and every pitch has fun moves. I felt the hardest pitches were 2 and 5. | |

| I did this before it started getting too popular and had an awesome climb wrapped up in a semi-wilderness experience. I love the hike in. The Dana Plateau is one of my very favorite places--just a big wide sweeping plain that makes you feel like you're someplace wild like Mongolia. Kind of a grovelly start the way we went which relented to the often described awesome climbing higher up. The last pitch is as good as everyone says and, besides, how often do you get to finish a peak by mantelling onto the summit? | |

| This route earns its stars. The climbing is varied but maintains consistent difficulty with a couple cruxy moves near the top. On the approach, we spent about 2 hours checking out the menacing clouds south of Mono Lake and hovering over the Cathedral group. Finally we decided to go for it. Just after I reached the top of the second pitch, we got hit by a brief hailstorm. But afterwards, the rock dried up and we had blue skies the rest of the day. I wouldn't mind doing this route again. | |

| the .10 sections were solid and sweet, requiring some high steps and fun moves. the last 30-40ft having some amazing jug/lips to hang off. the 15 foot '.10b' was fun because there's just one main hold you're working with. | |

| MihaelJ did most of the work on this my second trip as I was recovering from six months of surgery/therapy on my ring finger. Good partner and no crowds made the periodic pain very bearable. | |

| rpc | Nice enough. Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2007 | |
| Decent climbing but the use of descriptors in some TR's & guidebooks such as "best 5.9 pitch" etc... seems excessive. OK climbing, pretty good views, good rock. Agree with Michael J that P5 was by far the crux (& I did not get it clean). I actually enjoyed P3 the best - go figure. Hike in/out sure is purty though. | |

| When I started climbing 2.5 years ago, this was the route I wanted to get good enough to do. Made plans three times last season to give it a go, but something always got in the way. Finally, got on it with the Chief. He was nursing an injury, so I led pitches 1,2,4&5. The last two were the money--4 being a cruise and 5 the definite crux. A lot of work for two good pitches but a stellar partner, good weather, and not another soul on the hill made for a fine day. | |

| Hardest rock climb I have done so far - I lead pitches 2 and 4, Karen 1,3 and 5. Great quality, super clean and beautiful setting. Climbed the route in just under 5 hrs. | |
