Shirley leading the shitty crack that is Lycopodophyta...never liked it (Dec. 2004).December 2004. A chilly weekend in Smith. On Saturday we did the nice crack that is New Testament (5.10a), Lycopodophyta (a shitty 5.7 crack), and Moonshine Dihedral (5.9 classic). On Sunday, things were more chilly and windy and so we hiked around and took turns leading the bolted Sunset Slab (5.9). This gets 4 stars in the book but I recall very little about it (probably not worth the longish hike).
