Ascent Note
Had to clean a lot of dirt and vegetation out of the crack. Don't know if it had been done before. I called it "Preparation H" because it goes up to Haystack and because it was a dirty crack. Gene Drake used the name in his early guide material.

Ascent Note
We did it as a 5.8 A2 climb. Went a little slow and had to bivy in wool shirts and wind parkas. Coldest night of my life. Magnificent views of El Cap from this route.

Ascent Note
After fixing the pitches above Dinner Ledge my partner bounced too much rappeling past the Kor roof and the sharp edge completely separated the mantle of our haul line. We had two feet of the core showing, so beware. We shared four quarts of water in a day and a half in October. Not enough! But what a great climb.

Ascent Note
This was the first 5.9 that Gene Drake and I ever climbed. The first two pitches pushed us to our limits and we were both dreading the ominous overhang on the last pitch. To our relief it went easily. We were exhillerated, even though it had taken us six or seven hours. It capped off a 20 day climbing trip to Yosemite Valley and the Leap in a slow, noisy $75.00 truck. And we rattled home triumphantly.

Ascent Note
I got the second pitch. It was not difficult but I found it to be scary, airy, and spectacular because it was so steep.

The old Roper guide rated it a 5.8 climb. I had never climbed 5.9 before and got a big surprise.
