Long day with a good friend. Got passed by a guy in sandles. saw a wolverine. Doesn't get better than that.

killer climb, mellow, beautiful! check

Roped up to the ridge, then soloed to the gap between the summits. Went so well to there, we attempted the rest, but felt the need to rope up, slowed down, and bailed to be sure to get back by dark. One other party pnly, pitching it out, quickly disappeared in the distance.

Perfect weather. Soloed most of the route. Exposure is out of this world.

Did the finger crack variation to the top of the North tower.

Hats off to the guy who climbed the north tower barefoot and unroped. He rolled his own cigarettes too. Classic.
