Description
After we climbed the Honey Pot Dihedral and the right Y Crack, we wanted to continue. Maurice led straight above the Y crack’s finish, up a very thin crack in a right-facing corner system. He then continued up an offwidth and a thin crack in a face. He led the final pitch up scratches in the glassy, polished, short headwall. As I was following our third pitch (above the ground, first pitch of our continuation), Bill Kees yelled up from the ground, saying that we were “on a new pitch!”
