dagibbsDid Satori, a 5.10c 7-pitch 700 foot long climb. The approach was, unfortunately, a lot of work -- including some really nasty scree. But, the climb was awesome, and the view from the top was great. I hope some of the pictures turn out.
The grades down here are a bit soft -- I can't climb a 5.10c gym route at Coyote clean, so I shouldn't be able to do 5.10c pitch, after I've already climbed 5 pitches, including another 5.10 pitch without a belay rest. Either that, or my climbing has gotten a lot stronger. I'm going to go with "soft". Or, as Becket (my guide) says, they're "vacation" grades.
