Route Climbed: SW Ridge (ascent) / South Slope (descent); NW Buttress Date Climbed: June 22, 2003; Aug 1, 2003
We squeezed in a quick climb on a Sunday morning before the drive back to the Bay Area. A bit of an introduction to friction climbing for me.
The second visit was a few weeks later, and was my first technical climb--combo acclimatization/rope practice for what was hoped to be a Clarence King day hike the next day. It rained the last two pitches. Great fun all the same.
