Re: cool proportions!Thanks Dirk - due to some bad coaching from the ground (by Misha and I), Etsuko gave up trying to cross the last 15 feet and down climbed. I gave it a shot and found a much easier way to get up there and placed a yellow alien about 2 feet in from the right edge of the picture. Etsuko made up for it by leading the more difficult 2nd pitch.

Re: cool proportions!Yeah...that upper polished section w/ no pro spoooked the sh*t out of me (not due to Misha and Martin's lack of coaching skills, rather I think I just gave it a bit too much thought)...but it was fun to stay up high on the polish as the follower though! =:) Great leading Martin! Thanks for adding to the great day!
Dirk...yo yo yo man! We missed you in the Valley!!!

Re: cool proportions!Definitely did Sam! I had a blast leading that second pitch...so exhilarating and aesthetic! Both Misha and I are looking forward to going back and completing the sucker!! =:) I am really sorry for all of us that my bad back got in the way of our climb.

WearingI thought this was a very mentally wearing route, despite its comparatively low rating. And this first pitch was one of the wearing parts, and I didn't even lead it. Our guidebook (from 1970) listed this as 5.5, and after climbing it I thought it was harder than that.
