Snowpatch Route  Sucess!

Climbed via the Snowpatch Route from Appleby Camp. Awesome! Soloed to Wiessner Overhang, led traverse out, simuled slabs to pear in 1 go, led p1 of 3 on headwall.

SW Corner  Sucess!

A fun and historic route. Get up early to avoid the crowds. Some route-finding issues on the headwall and "old school" 5.6 make this a more committing outing than the grade would indicate. Raps can be done with a single 60M cord off bolted anchors to the west of the summit.

Fun climb  Sucess!

Via the Snowpatch Route with Robert and Mark. We did a fair bit of simul-climbing. We did simul-raps on the way down. Then we did an alternate descent back to the hut instead of the usual Pigeon Col. Really fun!

SW Corner. Drove to the Bugs in a VW in a single 36-hour push from San Francisco.

Krauss McCarthy Route  Sucess!

Not the most breathtaking position, but a great climb all the same. We topped out with a full on electrical storm bearing down. Needless to say the we made a hasty retreat.

Surf's up  Sucess!

Upper pitches are nice cracks in a stellar position. The view from the summit couldn't be better. What a summit! By the way, making 60m raps will not get you down the Kraus-Mcarthey any faster. We had to reclimb a pitch to get a rope unstuck...
