Yellow Brick Road
I thought the 3rd pitch was basically reminiscent of POD (which is right to the left). Enjoyable map finding with a few interesting side pulls here and there. I got the 5.10a pitch which was easy for the grade I thought, very enjoyable face climbing. Froze my fingers on the 5.9 DOWT pitch....that crack, handling trad gear and being colder lower in the canyon...can really lead to a suffer fest if you have bad fingers. I have run up the damn thing before, was hurting this time. Good rock, enjoyable outing if warm enough.
