The chance to hang with people from many different countries.
Good parties and socializing after dark.
Eating strange Japanese delicacies with the Suzukis and their friend.
Climbing Braille Book and not being able to see the roads or campgrounds, just thinking we were in wilderness (only 1 other party within sight or earshot).
The first real leader fall. The first 5.10 leads
Lots of fun and challenges.

Is that light the end of the tunnel or a train?

Okay I agree on all 3 counts but Yosemite is the antithesis of overhanging face climbing and its techniques.

Yup, it's about crack climbing and always will be.

i've been told there is a route from 1989? that was rated 5.8 but really has mandatory 5.10+ or so on it. can't think of the name.


It's called "High Pressure"

Bridwell rated I believe originally 5.9 to piss off all the down raters during that period.

It's actually 5.11.

Me and Kauk went up there on day to do it and it's definitely NOT 5.9.

Is this the climb you're thinking of?
