Jascha and I climbed Birdland, and once again had the wall to ourselves except for a herd of 5 bighorn females that we watched for several hours. The finger crack on the last pitch was nice. Best climb we've done on this trip. No rope issues with our 70m. If I do this route again wouldn't bring any cams other than a 0.5 and 0.75 Camalot. Lots of good nut placements.

Climbed with my buddy Bruce, we swung leads and it was my turn to lead the awesome 3rd pitch. The traverse and the runout slab were really good, overall the whole route was superb. Another good day in RR.

One of my first big leads.. really felt good to have good protection. Had a little trouble route finding on the second to last pitch,, but after running it out I saw the chains.

Some advice, if behind someone slow (as we were), do Big Horn at the top of pitch 2 and rappel back down to continue climbing. We still ran into our party...oh well....Big Horn was really nice and made the day. The last pitch of Birdland is the fun. The 3rd pitch is good for the grade as well. Nothing too challenging. I advise a 70m rope vs doubles to avoid getting a rope stuck. I don't think double 60's save any more than one rap anyway.
