Crying Time Again.

Leading the original pitch 1 of Cooke Book on Daff Dome at 2pm-ish (alpine start). This felt like the crux (5.9) of this 5.10- route. There’s a climber on Bombs Over Tokyo above me & to the right (Aug. 2015).

This is the upper half of pitch 1 (rope drag) of Cooke Book (Aug. 2015).

After the original pitch 1, you do a 40 foot rappel to join the rest of the route (Aug. 2015).

Leading pitch 3 (Aug. 2015).

Shirley on pitch 3.

Leading pitch 4 (so called crux) of Cooke Book (Aug. 2015).

More pitch 4 action.

Leading pitch 1 of Crying Time Again – this is the only slab climbing on the route really (Aug. 2015).

Leading pitch 4 – a fun series of knob pulls (some kind of polished) on a tightly bolted face (Aug. 2015).

Pitches 5 and 6.

Shirley on pitch 6 of Crying Time Again…which we combined with pitch 5 (Aug. 2015).

Topping out (pitch 6).

Hiking off the summit of Lembert Dome. Cathedral Peak is the pointy thing in the background (I think…).
