Aaron led the first pitch of Left Ski Track, with its “unbelievably good
jugs”, then due to slow crowds, we finished with the second pitch of The
Chauvinist. The first pitch was truly unbelievable jugs. The only thing that
might make it even 5.6 is that it was totally vertical. The second pitch of
The Chauvinist started out with some 5.8 friction past three bolts, the first
few moves of which were a little sketchy. Definitely an interesting half a
pitch. The rest was easy and fun, up a wide crack (stay on the juggy face to
the right!) to a ledge, then due left to the summit. Some time we'll have to
come back and do the second pitch of Left Ski Track. (We were going to do it
that day, but again there were crowds.)
