Did the Upper Exum Ridge on the Grand many times in my guiding days....great climb that can get a wee bit crowded.

Wade, bra, I'll take ya out and show you our above route. It finishes on a nice ledge, perfect for having some beers and taking in some awesome views.
The other side of this route is the best slab route on Skyline called, Cranberries (5.9). And there are some .10's too.

Many years ago I promulgated a scenario in which Jim McCarthy was unable to remember he had done the FA of a climb they were about to do. Above I find the following.
Is repeating your own route after having forgotten it like a born-again first ascent?
Had that experience with JStan
Him: " good climb. who put this up?"
Me: "Um... You, John."
Him: " did I like it the first time?"

There is a lesson here. It is well for us carefully to watch what we do. There is no telling what will be done with us.

It's OK, John. It happens to all of us.
I can't remember what climb it was.

Most of Roper's 4th class routes in the Green guide to the Sierra's were 5.5 or 5.9ish. Suffered on so many and yet they are some of my best memories..
Yeah I've fallen my way up .11' and a few.12's but 4000 of 5.3 can't be beat for the scenery or fun.

Michelle, you are definitely invited, I'll call when we go. My other buddy, Ez, was saying he wants to get back out there. Lots of good stuff that not a lot of people know about.
Almost always have the place to ourselves.

White Maiden's Walkaway on Tahquitz 8/9/15. I think it's the fourth time I've done this route. This time led beginner/brain cancer survivor on his first multipitch climb. He led pitch 3 in fine fashion.

Definately want to do Blitzen. Soloed the lower ramp to do Ruper a couple of weeks ago but that seems like it would be a great beginner route. Also need to do the 3rd flatiron again as I have to look at it every time I walk out of my office. I am sure once it cools down some I will start looking at some of the other flatiron classics in this grade. I know you can do the ridge on the First at like 5.4.

Yep....looks like we'll have perfect weather for the Wham Ridge. We're going from Molas Pass. Kind of a full day....twenty mile round trip with a fair amount of vertical.

West Ridge of Pigeon Spire in the Bugaboos: 5.4 (but mostly just 4th class), beautiful rock, beautiful views! Perfect solo on a sunny day.
