5.11 trad

The top pitch of cruisemaster (after the crux) reminds me of some NC trad. Lots of technical and balancy body positions in awkward shallow dihedral while pumped with mucho exposure.

Hey Aaron-- I'll be climbing with Paul on Saturday, so we might see you at Long Wall. If we don't, good luck, and I hope to see some reports of sending!

So, just in case we do go to Long Wall... last time I went it there, it was hard to locate the start of the trail. Maybe it's because I suck, I don't know. What kind of car will you be driving so we know that we're at the right place?

That's cool-- we were at Left Flank. Perhaps next weekend we can hit Long Wall, though. I've never been on any of the trad out there and would love to lead some of it!

i gotta get on some hard stuff...maybe take a few whips. we're gonna sleep up there on a ledge when we go so that we don't have to do the hike 2 days in a row.
