Trip: Exfoliation Dome - Jacob's ladder

 

Date: 5/16/2010

 

Trip Report:

great day out on exfo dome...we made it up 5 pitches of jacob's ladder before deciding to bail due to dark clouds rapidly approaching and our desire to get off the granite sidewalk before the rains...

Nice one man!

I wish I knew about that wall with the notch.

Looks interesting.

Smedley was out in the valley yesterday as well.

I think he was @ 3'0clock.

Peace brother, catch up with you soon!

 

we heard some people across the valley while we was on the wall...

yeah we'll definitely have to catch up soon!

Nice :brew: Fun route for sure.

 

Not sure what face it would be for sure, but that is in the direction of Squire Creek valley, there is a lot of granite up there...

 

here's a wider view showing it in relation to green giant/big bear and liberty...
