Kor-Beck — Kor-Beck.

We had a failure or two in-between but managed to climb the Kor-Back (first 6 pitches at 5.9) on Middle Cathedral Rock and Super Slide (5 pitches, 5.9) near to Royal Arches. The former has some of the best views anywhere with the Big El C dominating your world. The latter has some fun climbing as well in low-angled splitter cracks.
