5 out of 5 stars Temple Crag - Sunribbon Arete

In a word . . . epic. Started at the trailhead at 3:50 AM, started climb around 9. With party of 3, we summited at 10 PM. Too dark to find the tricky descent, we had to bivy on the mountain. This climb is fucking sick. The tyrolean traverse in nuts. Every pitch amazing. All three of us agreed the crux was actually the "5.8" 3" crack. I led this pitch with no #3 cams and therefore it was pretty much unprotected except a yellow alien I sneaked in at the bottom. Climbed with Josh & Nathan. Lots of simul, but probably not enough. Long day, amazing climb.
