3 out of 5 stars Good intro to exposed climbing

I agree with the previous poster that Three Pines has less exposure for the true beginner. I'm getting more comfortable with exposure myself and enjoyed escaping the roof at the start of P3. I didn't think the traverse was all that tricky, except that some of the flakes in there that are obvious hand holds looked like you could pull them off the wall. The serving-platter sized chunk of freshy-fallen rock at the base was a little unnerving. Overall still a very enjoyable climb.

3 out of 5 stars Short, fun weeknight climb

Getting off the ground is tricky, and having a spotter for it was nice.

5 out of 5 stars Very nice climb

My first time following. Great beginner route - lots of good holds with a few skimpier sections to add a little challenge. Generous belay stations with that great view of the valley. Not a lot of exposure except when traversing over the "diving board".

3 out of 5 stars Skink

I'm short enough to make this more than a 5.6 for me. Got it only with a lot of beta. Near my current limit. Gotta' try this one again.

3 out of 5 stars Bunk Arete

Lower portions are a piece of cake. Upper section is more of a challenge. I did better on my 2nd try.

4 out of 5 stars My first multi-pitch, first trad climb

As the middle of 3 climbers, I can't call myself a true second - I cleaned no gear. Fell once on P2 when my arms pumped out at the crux. Wanted to do the ceiling, but will have to come back when I am stronger and more efficient. The views from the two belay ledges were stellar on a clear day. I can see why this one is a classic.

4 out of 5 stars My 3rd climb on rock

Not too tough above and below the crux, but the crux is a doozy.

Edit: Much easier 7 months later. I've done 5.7's that I thought were harder.
