I haven't done that, but I know Jay has. Jam the roof or undercling?

Gary and I and Boku-Bob did it...

go up, undercling traverse, then I did a wild left knee-bar to get around the corner, it's grunt to the top...

Bruce was on the FA of another quality OW right around the corner Enemy Within which has a way to cheat up the first bit with no OW, but has a great 5.10 section with many techniques involved... watched a lovely LA girl try to face climb it, she was wearing shorts and didn't have the horsepower, or the technique to pull it off...

Amy from Sonora did get up it in good style, her vocalizations are rather more interesting than most...

Gary might have some pix...
I'll see if I do...

here we go... Gary confronting Enemy Within  5.10b, Olmstead Canyon, Tuolumne Meadows, CA...



that ugly gaping slot to the left is Talk Dirty To Me the meaning of which becomes apparent when you wiggle through the squeeze on top!

Glorious! I need to spend more time over here for the goods.

I really want to try that Thrill is Gone. And the song is certainly more inspiring for me than Enemy Within.
