I saw a photo of the climb Handbook, and it looks simply fabulous. Any more beta on it?

It's on mountain project http://www.mountainproject.com/v/handbook/105990868

Haven't done it myself.

Handbook...
Others could give better beta but I remember 2 pitches on great rock, a really pretty corner. Both pitches have hard moves, P1 more physical, hard jams, and p2 more technical and face/stemmy. Great climb.

Thanks Bryan, I checked Mountain Project, cool. How about Sacred Fire which on second pitch has a 150 ft overhanging hand crack first done by Ron Kauk, anyone done it?

Walleye, is A Love Supreme a 5.13 thin with a crux at the bottom and top? I tr a 13 years ago (no I did not get it without hangs) in the Meadows and I haven't been able to remember the name of it, but this sounds right.

There's plenty of classic cracks up there in Tuolomne. I like some of the more obscure ones like Handbook (definitely worth the hike) and Into The Void.

Do or Fly is always fun on TR, or lead it if you're feeling burly.

What about all the crack climbs up at Murphy Creek? Park at the west end of Tenaya Lake and walk about a mile up there. Way neat hang with impressive views of the west face of Mt Conness.

And, yes, the next-to-impossible crux of the Love Supreme crack is up at the top. How many ascents has that one had?

Sharp is right! I had flappers. I looked it up online and indeed it fits my memory.
