Nice one, Dirk!This was a good pitch, and this got to be the crux move. Not sure if you know that, but it was first climbed by Warren Harding way before he became famous

Re: Nice one, Dirk!Yeah, MIsha, I remember reading that. Apparently, he didn't even remember doing it! Anyway, fun little climb.

Re: Nice one, Dirk!Didn't he solo this one?

Re: Nice one, Dirk!No, I don't -- but I ran across a guy who flies gliders at the same club as me. We started talking and it turns out he was a climber too. (He's maybe 70 years old now.) I asked him about his climbs and he specifically mentioned climbing a bunch with Royal Robins and Warren Harding on Lambert Dome so I was wondering if maybe it was this guy I met.

Fun climb!That section ended up being easier than it looked. That 'squeeze' section actually made it easier to climb past the slick slab, as I shimmied up the gap then stemmed the flake and rougher granite beyond the slick. Fun pitch!

Re: Fun climb!Yeah, slick but quite doable for the reasons specified. Perhaps the only redeeming quality of that climb.
