2nd time, still enjoyable.
climbed with the Hungarian Akos. We had a blast. Great climb with no run out or dangerous spots. Splitter, small roof, the bigger one. Only one 5.9 move on big roof. Good fun

Great commiting climb
First climb in Yosemite. Really good. Liked how to use the tree to get started in the first pitch, how easy the second pitch felt, and how good it felt to not be leading on the committing crux roof move ;-)
Oh, and did I mention how I hate (and am really bad) at hand jamming? Damn you, Yosemite! :p
