Fun?Those little overlaps on the last pitch kept things interesting. And I met the nastiest rattlesnake on the descent. But a great climb on a great formation.

Great 3.5 pitches on TahquitzSwung leads with Keith and managed to link P1&2, 3&4, then P5 and the 4th class finish. Great day as per usual on Tahquitz.

First Multi-Pitch Lead!Great Weather. Great Climb. A little interesting getting into the crack on the second pitch, but man o man, it was worth it.

nice crack5.6 crack is super nice and classic for sure, but unless this is near your limit, it's probably not worth the trip up there...

fun climbwith Dan. Lots of way to finish, we had much traversing on (sometimes moss covered) slabs

Got Crack?Cool cracks on this multi-pitch crack climb. Gotta love it, when it's so close to home.

No Rain on OUR Parade!Great trip up Tahquitz Rock with Dave and Tina under threatening weather; love the sound of thunder when committed mid-route. Got no rain but I got the "no pro for many feet" 3rd pitch. :)
