Labyrinth
4 summits in 4 straight days. Ian (St. George Ian) and I warmed up on Waterfall Dome and then summited Cochise Dome (Triple Direct and You Bet Your Life), End Pinnacle (Welcome to the Machine), Chay Desa Tsay (Wind Madness) and Rockfellow (Labyrinth), encapsulating one of my finer trips in the Stronghold at 58 yrs of age. This route is not "X" as the modern guide suggests (2022) and barely ""R". Geir had a more accurate description of the route, grade and gear needed. The south raps were fast, clean and efficient, right back to your packs. I led the crux squeeze chimney and it was crazy good. Worked my knees bloody, but it was worth it. Very cool 5 star experience for sure.
