Location: CA : Yosemite National Park : Yosemite Valley : The Cookie Cliff : Waverly Wafer (5.10+) By: Kevin Friedrich When: Oct 28, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: For those of us who started life as sport climbers, the wide pod on this pitch may feel like the crux of the entire nabisco wall.
I actually rested in the off-fingers section due to the "pump" from the wide stuff.

Location: UT : Moab Area : Indian Creek : Supercrack Buttress : 3AM Crack (5.10) By: Kevin Friedrich When: Oct 9, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: Greg and All,
Kevin, the guy who got dropped by me (also Kevin) is doing okay. He broke his sacrum and is expected to make a full recovery in 6 weeks.
We thank all of the people at the craig on Sunday who helped us out with first aid, you were all great.
I made a very bone-head mistake in assuming the route was suitable for a 60m rope and was not paying attention when Kevin got dropped. I'll never make the mistake again as this has been a life changing experience.

Comments: A great route. Easily the hardest yet also one of the best .8's in the gorge. If this route was in yos it would be .8 though.

Comments: I agree with Dave. A great great and bold climber once commented to me that "if Stradivarius was in the Tetons their would be a book written about it."
