climbing "sharma's arrete"


today mike and i climbed the 5.12 pitch of "daily planet". we took the wrong approach trail three different times on our way to the cliff band where the climb is located called "the sheriff's badge". after over 2 hours of approach we finally climbed the two pitches leading to the base of the route, which proved to be awkward slab climbing up arretes. the 5.12 pitch was easily freed but we were not expecting such an epic on the approach and so with no food and getting hungry we rapped back down. this is another climb i will need to go back for.

the third photo is me leading the 5.12 pitch on "daily planet".




yesterday was awesome friction, with winds blowing through the forest and cool temperatures. i quickly did all the moves on "the egg" including the difficult start move three seperate times. a great day.
