1st Pitch- 50m- 5.9/ This is the shared first pitch of West Crack. This will be one of the softer 5.9’s you will climb in Yosemite or anywhere for that matter. There is a bolt at the base of the pitch protecting a 5.8 move. Then up a 5.7 finger corner with tons of options for your feet placing gear at will. Towards the top of the pitch, veer a bit left to catch a handrail that leads back right to the fixed belay below the roof.
Blown Away, 5.9, 4 Pitches, Daff Dome, Yosemite National Park, July, 2013
