Yosemite - Arch Rock - Anticipation, Leanie Meanie   11/12/88

Went up with Steve Annecone and Joel, in spite of a pretty definite "rain/snow
on Sunday" weather report.  We climbed dawn to dusk at Arch Rock and the Cookie
with Steve leading everything.  Anticipation was very pumper for me -- harder
than Waverley Wafer!  I just barely made a rest near the top by camming my
finger bones in the fingerlocks -- I had run out of strength for liebacking or
holding onto any edges.  Had to depump for a few minutes on a foot stem rest
before completing the last 10 feet (5.7/5.8), because I was so pumped that I
couldn't even make a fist.  Joel had trouble getting to the final dihedral and
had to take some rests on the rope.  Saw the Punchline hangers hammered flat on
the arete to our right (Kauk rap bolt route chopped by Bachar et al).
   On to Leanie Meanie, which was a lot easier than Anticipation.  Joel again
showed the effects of his long layoff but got it with rests.  Finished with
Catchy which seemed harder than before.  Steve was looking very strong.
   Rain started early Sunday morning, but we were lodged under a good boulder
by Sentinel and stayed dry.  Left at 9am to beat the impending snowfall.
