3rd Pitch- 60m- 5.10/ This is the best pitch of the day. The FAer’s might have easily had this pitch divided into two. I enjoyed leading it in one. The first 30’ is straight up a corner hand crack, 5.8-5.9. Then move into the base of a chimney (Epinephrine quality!) and climb to the top of the chimney, squeezing out left (a #6 C4 protects the squeeze section) to the top of the chimney. I continued this pitch up another 30’ section involving a finger crack that turned to hands to pull a small roof. A comfortable medium gear belay waits above.
