Comments: I climbed Touch and go this morning and finished on Anthill Direct. I did T & G in one pitch. Pretty fun route with a thought provoking crux. The top felt like a one move crux with good gear. You can place a small alien or bd cam at the crux. I am 5.9 and I can see how taller climbers would have no problem with this move. Anthill direct is a short but sweet climb. I had loads of fun on both of these routes. I would say these routes are must do for confident 5.9 climbers.

Comments: Pretty fun route. Long but easy approach. I have not been up to the Cathedral spires cirque before yesterday. After leaving Loch Vale, you will come to another alpine lake [Lake of Glass] before Sky Pond. Stay on the trail to Sky Pond. I thought that this first lake was sky pond and wasted some time trying to figure out how to get to the start of the climb. Stay on the trail to the next lake, Sky Pond. The start is easy to find. Many options to get up the talus slope. Not much for cairns, howeve... more >>

Comments: Really fun climbing, Great moves and pretty good gear for the crux. Linked p1 and p2 for a really long pitch. Only brought a 70m rope and rappelled off to the south to catch some anchors for two more rappels to the ground. Not the most ideal way to get down because of loose rocks when you pull the rope. It worked for us.

Comments: Super CLASSIC 5.10 climbing. One of the best 10s I have done anywhere. This climb just eats up gear all the way to the top. Save a #1 or #2 for the top. Fun, sustained climbing with good rests.

Comments: Super Classic route. I think this route is a must do for anyone. The approach is not that bad. Great views. We did it in three pitches linking the last two w/ a 70 m. Started late to beat the heat. Started around 9:30. The top of the second pitch belay loses shade around 11am. The rappels are super casual and really easy to find.
Loved every second of this climb.
