When we got up there it was hot enough to go sun's-out-guns-out. So nice. We had previously put in the first pitch of this climb, and, having rapped over the crack, we had noticed some loose blocks and what-not. So Rich jugged up our fixed line and started pulling stuff out of the crack. A lot came out, but there is still some loose and hollow sounding stuff. So, with that in mind, we hiked up to the top of the cliff and through a top rope on it. And while the looseness is something to be concerned about, it isn't detrimental to the climb!
So what did we do next? We led the damn thing. Awesome. Really fun and delicate climbing at the loose section and then pumpy finger crack climbing. Really an awesome pitch of climbing.
Now there is a two pitch 5.10c that is 190 feet long. Five stars for sure.
