1st time climbing fingertrip on May 16, 2013! @ Lunch Ledge after leading the 1st and 3rd pitch. Super stoked!! WOOHOOO!!

The fantastic first pitch of Fingertrip.

Looking up at the route. P3 climbs the undercling roof that traverses from R to L at dead center. Then climb through the veggies to Lunch Ledge at the level of the top of the tree in the upper left corner.

Reckless soloist with approach shoes on very "loose" blocks of P1.

Exposure on P2

Black totem placement for the 5.1 exit pitch.

Nina Rapaport leading the 3rd pitch of Finger Trip at Tahquitz

Looking down the dihedral nearing the top of P1. The 5.8 variation follows the thin fingercrack lieback up the dihedral and the original 5.7 follows the slanting crack to the left. Do the lieback :)

Crowded belay station.

In the middle of the slab

climbing up pitch two past the traverse

Pitch 4 finish. Easy slab section but a bit runout until you get to the small tree. There is an orange bolt soon after.

cheesin' at the second (not great) belay after the traverse

Friction top out.

Zack trying out the options near the top of first pitch. I had stayed on the right had dihedral.

start of the second pitch leading to the under cling arch!
