weak, third pitch in the dark... FUN!

First multipitch. Easy but fun when combined with block route to the top out at the peak trail. Note: third bolt of first pitch chopped.
We surprised the tourist hikers at the top. We asked them how they got to the top without a rope! They replied that they took the trail. My partner and I had a fake gripe about a trail and having done all that work climbing. I think they believed it!

I follwed as a third on the 1st pitch of this one while a buddy of mine completed his first sport lead. Then I led the second pitch clean. Great gear placements! I always forget that there is a really great #3 Cam placement on the right as soon as you bump up and around the corner after the 1st pitch belay station.

when combined with my route

Led pitch 3 "Block Route" from Lunch Ledge to Lightning Ledge summit approach.

Followed girlfriend on her 4th lead

really great climb. led the 2nd pitch so much better than when I led it back in April. no rope drag this time. :) I love the exposure on pitch two for sure.

first pitch was super easy and fun
for some reason I really laced up the second pitch and used tons of unnecessary gear....just getting good placement practice I guess. Really great day of climbing though.
We continued to the summit via My Route (which I followed on)
