The 3rd class of the back of Norman Clyde Peak. Not bad but jeez it's a long, long slide if you miss a step.

Temple is a walk off with one 60' rap down into contact pass.

Oh my....

Getting in and out of the shower is pretty dang scary anymore. Slipperier than the slabs at the top of the Royal Arches, and just as horrific potential. I could "fall and can't get up," break a hip, you know, terrible outcomes. It's even feeling more and more exposed.

4th-classing pales by comparison to such dangers.

ruppell,

Not sure what walk off you are talking about. Maybe we missed it. Right side of upper buttress is what I was talking about.

Your talking about Dark Star not getting off Temple. DS has lots of fourth class on it. Once you summit is the walk off I was talking about.

The down traverse to the rappel anchor on top of the Wedge in the Humbugs is heady DFU 4th class.

The mantle at the top of Gunsight gully (Yosemite) has always been entertaining.
Easy yes, but there's a 30 footer if you sketch.
As tourists (I am) we went up to the pools/ waterslides BITD.
Last time I did it in 1990 I was trying to trail-run Pohono to 4 Mile Trail to Valley.
Got smoked early from so much uphill, but I saw Bridalveil creek/ falls below.
Descended Gunsight to safety, but that move was weighing on my mind.

ruppell,

Yep, you're right. Should have been more specific.

General 3rd class scrambling....very loose very large talus, crumbly bumblys, and slippery sandy ledges always have me on edge. Don't need exposure to think your gonna die!
