Being a long weekend, crowds are always an issue, so we picked a route not in supertopo: Serrated Edge, a 4-pitch 5.10b on Mariuolumne Dome in Tuolumne. We thought about doing OZ first, but it had a line of parties on it, and we started at the car at noon... due to sleeping in, and making a big breakfast at the park gate :) Instead as an approach, we started on Euro Trash on the lower slab (which adds another 4 pitches, mostly easy but enjoyable). Euro Trash went quickly but there looked to be two parties ahead of us on Serrated Edge - a shocker! Thankfully the first was already past the first two pitches, and we waited for an hour for the second party to clear the first belay ledge (which is fairly uncomfortable). The climb is super super fun! A 4" camalot is nice for the start of the 2nd pitch, but it's possible to get a #2 or #3 in there too (just deeper in the crack), and the rest of the climb doesn't need big gear, despite what some will tell you. The crux move is a bit awkward, but very well protected and didn't end up as hard as it looked. I ended up linking pitches 2 and 3, since I had left my #3's behind and the belay wasn't very trustworthy without them. The third pitch has about 15 meters of very cool climbing right on the knobby "Serrated Edge"... cool! We waited for Karen and Wen at the top and we all walked off together.

On Sunday, we went to Patricia Bowl, an amazing alpine crag that has some of the best quality granite you'll find in the Sierra. On Monday we lazed around in the morning and drove into Tuolumne, unsure of what to do next. We ended up getting on Lucky Streaks with our typical late start - there was only one party on it (two Italianos) who were having an absolute blast, hooting and hollering and laughing up the climb... super friendly too! We chatted a bit about Italian climbing and since they were in no rush, they let us get past them, which was very nice and allowed us to have some beach time at Tenaya Lake (~3 hours for the climb), before beginning the drive back. A great end to a long weekend!
