spotly Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 Camped Friday then climbed Saturday early. Clouds looked dark to the east so didn't waste alot of time gawking. Must have gotten off route (what's new) because it seemed much stiffer than 5.3. A fun route, especially the second pitch. Did the big mantle move at the top instead of going left. Bootied a brand new red tricam. Got down as the thunder and lightning started. Met two friends who were heading up the first pitch. They kept going but I think they bailed before we made it back to the saddle. The hail started dumping as we broke camp. Impeccible timing! Fun climbing, good friends and burgers with beer afterwards. Take me to rock now! Quote
els Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 Sounds fun. Nothing like some good beer for the drive back. Quote
spotly Posted August 13, 2006 Author Posted August 13, 2006 Ha! Actually had a (just one!) beer as we watched the storm roll through. It WAS fun, thanks. Just got off the phone with Lloyd - they opted to bail near the top and got caught by the storm before reaching the pass. I'm thinking he'll be buying a new alarm clock soon Quote
