pitch 2 Both of us ended up climbing Mummy Crack more like a lie back, so Jascha reported the pack hauling to be more of a nuisance. pitch 4 I went straight up the (5.7+?) crack off the belay instead of doing the slab traverse. Seemed better for rope management.
Pitch #2: Ditto. However, when you're trying to set pro inside the crack, you're really good rest is to stuff yourself into the crack while do it. Thus, the pack being a burden in that part of the evolution. ;) Pitch #4: Done it that way too (5.7).
Thanks for the detailed notes. Much appreciated both of you! David
