A Tuolumne Must-Do!
Absolutely spectacular route! 5 stars is nowhere near enough for this climb! My friends and I agree that we'll be back to this route every single time we visit Tuolumne. P1 is the crux but still not too hard with one or two 5.9 moves, P2 is sustained 5.8 and just classic yosemite crack climbing, P3 is short but fun passing through a small roof and very unique flake, P4 is easy to get off route and has another small roof, P5 involves an exposed traverse to a tree belay, everything after that is 5th class and can be simul-climbed. Good protection the whole way.

Great route
Cracks were fun, and a little wet.

pretty good
you could lop off the top 500 ft. and it'd be better.

regular route
This was my first climb in the meadows, first pitch made me sweat for real. long freakin' day for us; about 12 hours round trip. got caught behind some slow folk. all in all, a great climb and great day

One of the 50 Classic Climbs...
The second pitch is so stellar! First was mostly dry but pretty polished - bomber hand jams though. Climbed this on my birthday - what a treat!

Improbably consistent climbing
Five or six pitches of improbably consistent climbing.

With my son
My non climber son and I raced up this thing in about 5 hours. A really good, non-committing long route. slippery crux. We took a leftward variation at the top that provided a few more pitches of 5.8and 5.9

awesome!
great route, and a 70m cord makes it even better with four BIG pitches to the traverses up and off- great times!

Best climb I've ever done!
Used a 70m rope and really enjoyed the different belay options it afforded and the ease of running pitches together. The first two pitches were very sustained in my opinion and it only eased up slightly until the traverse pitch. If you are a gym rat accustomed to leading 30ft pitches, you better get your endurance up before doing this climb. After the traverse pitch, it's smooth sailing simul-climbing to the top. I cannot tell you how impressive this climb is - YOU MUST DO IT!
