Sooo Fun
This was good fun. Climbed at the end of the day... crowds had thinned out and we were in the shade. Made for a very fun climb. Lots of variety and beautiful views.

Had a blast until the heat cranked up. Finger crack section was great.

Awesome Fun
Led pitches 1 and 3. Hard to find the start at first. Very fun and very warm in the morning sun. Rockfall is no joke here. I saw a VW Bus sized rock fall above us and land on the slab 200 yards to climbers left, loudest and scariest sound I have ever heard. Worth it? I guess so, since I went back again.

What crack climbing is all about!
One of the most fun climbs I did in the Valley. And yes, probably the best 5.6 I have ever done also. Pitch 2 is the real money pitch. The other 2 are fun also. Rapping down Marginal looked like fantastic climbing but very runout. Maybe next time toprope one of the pitches from the anchors after climbing the Grack? Definitely get a late start on this one! We arrived at ~ 12-1pm and were baking in the sun the entire climb! The other parties that showed up ~ 2:30 or 3pm probably had a much nicer climb.
