CRUSHED! (as in a great day just farting around climbing good rock)

TH Traverse in 3 pitches to the rings just before the 3rd class section.
Beginners Delight - sweet 5.8 fingers to splitter crack
Ran a lap in my tennies on Beginners Right.
Some bolted "5.8" up on Hippo Wall on the way out.

That looks pretty bad. It is a waste of a bolt at a minimum.

Stoked you got out there Munge. I assume Nate made it?

More photos!

Yeah, sorry we missed you Davey, and a few others. But it was a fine time - thanks Munge! Good to stretch the calves and get several pitches up on some granite, as it'd been awhile.

 And that was not the only bolt next to  that absolutely bomber crack - there were at least 2 others on the TT.

By the way, there is a hybrid tech friend in the crack where Beginner's Delight thin section gets a hand size pocket. With two nut tools and some patience, you could fully retrieve that thing.

Also, good photo, Munge, of the perfectly pro-able crack. We have similar photos mainly from the ridge. There are gray areas, and to each his own, but when it's pure overkill showing a lack of knowledge about how to place gear, it tends to engender more of the same.




Photo will right itself as this is not a traverse.
