South Face (III 5.7)
Mary and I climbed this on Labor Day Weekend 2009. I finally had a day off after 12 straight days in the hospital, so we drove out and camped at Dorst CG and then did this awesome route the next day. The approach was annoying to say the least, but we found the start of the route without too much difficulty. The climbing was excellent; nearly every pitch had interesting moves and there was a good variety of climbing types. The descent down the stairs was sweet, but delayed by the usual barrage of questions and photo taking by the tourists.

What a view
An easy summit - but a spectacular view. So good I went back and climbed it again a couple of days later!

Try this at Night
My wife had the idea of a midnight star gaze on Moro Rock. All the stairs, ramps, and handrails cannot keep this from being dark and scary. Once at the top though, it was stars forever - except for the distant flare of a forest fire. On the way back to our cabin we nearly collided with a sow bear and two cubs. Neither of us slept much after that.

yeah, I'm a tourist!
And a big time Natty Park Junkie! I love the old hardware and steps on some classics! I don't want them everywhere, but they are unique and a good mix of man and nature. Which is one in the same to me. I think I 've been here three times now? Didn't know there were two day climbs on it!

This is what to dowhen it's late in the day and you only have time for a short one (stairs). One of the best spots to view the sunset.
