Route: from UN 13,202 Posted On: 2021-07-21, By: SnowAlien Info: What a doozy! Btw, the summit is not where balloon is on the topo map (Gaia and Caltopo are also off). It's pretty obvious though, as you get on the "indicated" summit, there's a higher bump up the ridge. And what a "bump" it is! Felt like sustained C4 with a sprinkle of low C5. A fine neighbor of Williams group. The rock is a-mazing solid granite. On the way back I accidentally took the wrong gully (started downclimbing too soon), which was even harder, but was able to reverse my mistake. Storied register, which was wet. |
