West Crack (4p 5.9)
August 23, 2008
We drove up on Saturday morning, so we didn't start climbing before
1-2pm. Thankfully the crowds had cleared by then! Overall I didn't
think this climb was anything to brag about, there were a couple of
fun sections (1st move on pitch 1, and 1st move on pitch 2), I'd
give it 3/5 stars :) There is a cool boulder at the top which serves
as a belay anchor.
Afterward, I went in Tenaya for a dip, although it was late
afternoon and the sun had disappeared, so I didn't last long in the
water :) And the day wouldn't be finished without burgers!
