Zee Tree - 5.7

Third try was the charm. This route has always somebody on it. The route is indeed good but Dike route is much better; and to stay at the grade just rap after p3 on Dike route.
The top pitch crack would be the crux if you don't have your crack climbing technique dialed up. Done in 5 pitches to the top (Linked 4 and 5 w a 70m rope)

fun route even more fun walk off

Woaw! Real solid friction climbing with breathtaking exposure! Yet the bolts are really spaced out and it was a bit too run out to my taste (although the fall is safe, it may be very big). Also our topo suggested a 5.0 to 5.4 grade - which is definitely is not!! - so it also kind of took us by surprise. Finding the first two bolts is really not obvious: we were lucky someone was here to tell us about them. Had to retreat just below the start of the crack as everyone one the rope didn't feel so good, but sounds like a nice one. Do not get in there if you're not comfortable in 5.7 yosemite friction climbing or you may wish you didn't! Otherwise, go ahead, it's real quality climbing!

A must do when in yosemite!

Zach lead this all 5 pitches. the last 2 pitches were run-out but not much worse than 5.5. The top of the lieback was great! The descent wasn't too bad either, a short rap and hike off.
