Commitment & Selaginella

Go back to Yosemite Valley.

A Few Words

Selaginella

Selaginella.

In April of 2007, Shirley & I had a chance to make a quick trip to The Valley. I think the only thing we bagged was a quick link-up of the Commitment (5.9, 3 pitches) to Selaginella (5.8, 4 pitches). I recall the climbing being fun and straightforward with great views of Lost Arrow Spire. I don’t really recall much else…
