Queen's Dance
Feb 5, 2025 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Mike H led first pitch good. I led pitches 2 & 3 together. First move I'd thin balance to an undercling.. The rest of the climb had several quite hard spots and above the pitch 2 anchor i pulled off a chunk of rock and fell. Rock luckily didn't hit belayers. At one other point, I had to pull on. QD just a little to reach a hold. John french-freed a lot of these pitches. Mike fell off the first move then aided the move. I think he did the rest free except for the same move I had to aid. Mike led the last pitch and it some nice moves on it. We downclimbed the via ferrata to the north (right).
