We decided to do a double header today. A 5 star route called West Face, 10a was the first objective. Once again, the rain was threatening. We managed to knock the route out fairly quickly. Really cool and very fun.

| Cardinal Pinnacle, the biggest pointy thing. |
After that, we took a break. Did a little snacking, reading, and napping. It was pretty nice. Not too often do you get to be in a world-class setting like the Buttermilks, and have the luxury of time to wait out the heat to climb. The only bummer was that the road was flooded. Not a problem, we decided to do the last 1.5 ish miles on foot. For all you pebble wrestlers out there, this is a world class strikingly beautiful area. I would love to come back here. The climbing is great (hard), the scenery amazing, and the landings soft for the most part. It turned into a late night, getting home around 11ish.

| The world-class Ironman Traverse, bad-ass problem. I'm only half an Ironman, couldn't make it all the way. |

| Last problem of the day, the Hero Roof. Cause everyone needs to be a hero! Probably the best V0 I've done. |
The next day turned into a local sport cragging area, and the following day we went to Patricia Bowel. Cool cracks to be had there. Now it's off to try to get a Whitney permit and try to get back into the back-country.ss
Yeah for prebble wrestling - cannot wait to get back to it. Looks beautiful.
