"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Nice reportI enjoyed your report, though I find rock climbing to be for the courageous people...like yourself.
Best wishes,
Elizabeth

Sweet!Thanks for a great TR!!!
Did you find it hard or stout for 5.8? Did you find the pin on the last pitch???

Re: Sweet!I thought the first two pitches were solid 5.8, the rating was fair and I did not feel it was sandbagged. There was good gear during the harder sections. I did not find any pin or other protection on the last pitch. There are only 3-4 5.8 moves as you leave a ledge on the final pitch then the last 10-15 to the summit is easier.
