Yosemite - Sons of Yesterday + Parkline Slab, 3/20-21/04 - Lin Murphy

On Saturday we climbed Sons of Yesterday, starting via the first
2 pitches of Serenity Crack, and the 5.7 lieback/hand pitch of
Ahwahnee Buttress.  Lin had not done Sons of Yesterday before.
Lin led p2 of Serenity and p2 of Sons.  She took a fall on the
hand crack section of Ahwahnee Buttress, and a couple on the lower
crux of p1 of Sons - she finds it painful to use her feet in these
cracks.

Sunday - a visit to Parkline Slab, which was rather warm in the sun.
We swung leads on these.  Pro:  tiny nuts to TCUs, 1 set Friends 1.5-3.
1. Stonequest 5.8+ R **, first 4 pitches
   Arrived atop Parkline Pinnacle, opened my pack, and discovered
   I had not put my water bottle into it!  We cleaned up the anchor
   slings, removing several.  Anchor bolts are 3/8", most pro bolts are
   1/4" in decent shape.
2. Eagle's Eyrie 5.10a *, first 3 pitches (right side of block)
   p2 is wild, with some insecure runout moves that I would have trouble
   leading.  Fortunately Lin led it!  p3 was led as the sun was setting.
   It could use a little more cleaning, although most of the holds that
   are used were clean.  All bolts are 1/4".  The top anchor had not
   been visited in a long time.  I got a blister on the ball of my left
   foot from all the tight shoe slab moves, or perhaps just the number
   of pitches we had done in climbing 3 out of 4 days.
Descent with one headlamp.
