Summary

Spiderman
Shirley on pitch 1 of Spiderman - a very fun 5.7 crack/dihedral (Feb. 2005).

A day of sunny climbing on February 27th in 2005. After doing Spiderman (5.7) on the west side, we headed back for the sunshine of the main area where we climbed Karate Crack (5.10a) and Crack Of Infinity, using the 5.10a variation pitch 1. Fun climbing, especially the second (5.8) crack pitch. The variation start was pretty straight forward (unlike what we’ve heard about the proper start). Actually, we did all that except I got the order backwards …we started with Crack Of Infinity.
