● Positively 4th Street
Apr 23, 2024 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Clean other than hang at bottom while getting a #1 unstuck (start was really tough, and it takes 0.75). Used 0.5-3 with triple #0.75, and then double 1-3, no nuts, linked 1-2. Didn’t need the 0.4’s. Didn’t use my third #1-2. Double alpine draw useful for lower P2, save a 0.75 for above roof, it’s a bit draggy when berating follower. Crack gloves useful. 0.5 goes at the very end.

● Snake Dike
Apr 22, 2024 · Brought 0.3-2 with double 0.5, no nuts, 70m rope, should have brought 3 double alpine draws, 3 single alpine, and only 2 sport. Only one alpine cordelette was good and two double cordelette anchors. Really runout, but it is a really cool way to do Half Dome as a loop. 3 stars for views and uniqueness factor, but not sure I’d do it again. If it had more bolts it’d be so fun, the dike pitches are really cool other than the extreme runout. 13hrs car-to-car. Snow free, route is dry (except on descent after cables).

● 76 Degrees in the Shade
Apr 21, 2024 · Lead / Flash. Barely got it clean, brought 0.3-2, possibly doubles. Upper section goes from 0.75 down to 0.3. Anchor only has links (no clips). First half is super fun and all bolted.

● Iron Messiah
Apr 20, 2024 · 3 pitches. Lead / Fell/Hung. Only did first 3 pitches (5.4, 5.9, 5.8) then rapped with single 70m, it was too hot! First 5.4 pitch kinda annoying, face 5.9 pitch is kinda freaking tough with a pack on (it’s all pitons), hung on one. Third 5.8 pitch has some chimney. Fourth sandy groove pitch looked runout at the start. If I continued, I’d probably link P3-4 since the belay for top of P3 is awkwardly on the left pillar and then you’d have to move the belay.

● The Headache
Apr 19, 2024 · Lead / Flash. Quite a bit of fantastic climbing! P1 is nearly all #2 face crack, I could have placed 4 or 5 of them. P2 and 3 are more varied, P2 was my favorite. Brought and used 1 #0.3, 2x 0.4-0.5, 3x 0.75-2, 2 #3's, 1 #4, no nuts, and about 8 draws with half alpines. That was about perfect (only ~2 cams left each pitch). Double rope rapped with pull cord.
