time is but the stream I go fishing in
Wow! Just looking at this line a year ago from Gemini Cracks I had to climb it. Now that I have I absolutely love it. I will be back to do it again. It's big, classic, sustained. Pitches 1,2,4 & 5 being awesome. The pitch 5 crack with it's awesome way up there on the face feel easy pro placements was the high light.

Getting comfortable on the rock again
First outdoor climbing for a while so these sport climbs were a great start to the day before taking on the trad. climbs on the faces.

Thanks Warren
Wow, really enjoyed this climb! The crux getting into the squeeze chimney was a little nervy, but the run out on the rest of it was not as bad as it sounded. Did an alternate traverse right at the top rather than through the tunnel which I have done before. The traverse was not difficult but it did up the exposure level. I was thinking of doing Pony Express but there were at least 2 parties on that one so came to Harding Chimney, I'm super glad I did.

Loafin it
Did this route on a pretty hot September Day. One nice thing was the belayer could sit in the shade at the start. I ended up linking the first pitch up to the anchors above the pitch 2 lie back section which worked fine. The first pitch was varied and fun. The chimney was a bit hard to protect. Since the area burned there is a lot of sun exposure on the way up and many trees around the base are gone. Definitely a cooler season area.

Been itch'n to climb this one
This was a good route. Dosn't get the traffic of the other east wall climbs so it's not all chalked up, bit of vegetation too. It got my blood pumping and kept me focused. Really a nice pitch.

What are eggs
This route was pretty fun. I wouldn't call it sustained. There were a couple of moves to be made but nothing that got my blood pumping. I think it would be a good route to do with someone as a warm up to let the crowds get through on some of the other routes. Don't need much gear with all the bolts on the route.
