Now that the pass is open. What are your favorite obscure cracks in Tuolumne Meadows. Number of pitches and grade don't matter, just looking to start a list of fun things to do this summer.
Thanks

There is a good one on Pothole Dome too. Otherwise, Werner named all the really good ones.

Bob Kamps followed me up lucky streaks a few years ago. He was climbing like a champ at 70. Still had a 20 year old body. I asked him how he found the route on the first ascent. "We didn't think it would go" was his reply, we just got lucky!

P1 Bombs Over Tokyo. One of the best. I daydream about it as much as classics like Lunatic Fringe and Mr Natural. Memos from Loyd was hard as hell I thought, I never got it.
Many many good cracks in the meadows, but don't neglect the beautiful faces either.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned OZ. 5.10b on Drug Dome, I didn't because I haven't climbed it, yet... but it is considered by most who do as the best.
