Ascent of The Long Climb (Wong Climb start)

A nice long classic that has been on our list for a while, and was one of the few good routes in the shade (mostly in the shade). The route turned out to not be so long, since we were able to do the whole thing in only four pitches (the guidebook says six). We linked 3 & 4, and 5 & 6, without having to do any simul-climbing. The first two pitches were excellent, and there were nice tricky bits on the third and fourth pitches as well, which makes another argument for linking the pitches this way: unlike its neighbor Whodunit, this route (when climbed this way) has crux (5.8) moves on basically every pitch. The ledge at the end of our third pitch (the end of pitch four by the guidebook) is spectacular for sitting and enjoying the view. I have chairs at home that aren't as comfortable as that ledge.
