"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

North ButtressWith Peter S. Six pitches, about 3 hrs en-route. I combined the first two, pitches four-five up the cool splitter and chimney and the last two. Rock is pretty damn good for a north face, this line should be considered a solo option for those seeking it. The traverse offers the only exposure, but more like 5.8- then 5.9. I chose to lead up that off-width for the last pitch, then split off left in a diagonal splitter...by far the best pitch, to bad it was not included as part of the route. I am sure others have done it, too inviting to ignore, prob the reason I could combine those last two with a 70m rope. Anyone who thinks this is bad granite will be in for a shocker if they ever climb in the Bugs.

Cool routeClimbed with Amy as a day hike from South Lake. Did not have to walk even a minute with a headlamp. Started at sunrise, came back before sun set. North buttress was a nice route. Led the crux pitch which was awesome. Linked with 5.8 chimney.

goode & badStriking formation in a spectacular location, but thought the route was chossy. Linked up 2 sets of pitches for a total of 7. Found a single set of nuts & cams to #3 Camalot to be more than sufficient. with Jascha

Fantastic ClimbBeautiful day of climbing with Stefan - got back a bit late, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Led the last bit as the sun set, and summitted as it got dark, making for a dramatic finish. Stefan finished under headlamp, for a fun top-out.

Beautiful day outIn a day, the walk out in the dark seemed impossibly longer than the walk in... Found a nice variation to the 2nd to last pitch. A shaprly zig zagging crack system that comes off a large ledge to the right of the regular route added a classy pitch of .9+.
