About Deadman's:
| OTD steep pocket pulling over slopey landings. The rock is solid and if you are no worries. Crash pads won't help you much here the ground is soft pulverized pumice. You might hit it but then launch down the hill on terra firma! In all seriousness though a great spot to pay a visit to on your drive up the 395 toward Yosemite. A reality check for the conditionining of your head! There are easier climbs here but the landing scenario remains the same. Steming the dihedral is always fun! ride lived in Mammoth for 5 years ('89 - '94) and Deadman's was one of his favorite spots |
