6. Yosemite 6/10-11/95, with Dennis Strom. DES led everything > 5.4 . His first trip to the Valley in 1995; he's recovering from a heel operation (removal of bone spur). Much liebacking. Sat: - Catchy 5.10d (I've still never led it) - Catchy Corner 5.11a (DES onsight, first time I ever *followed* it) - Outer Limits 5.10b wet streak immediately right of crack. DES had sewing machine leg and took a brief hang in the upper part to get his head together. <1 hour siesta> - Bircheff-Williams p1 5.11b blank stem, we both flailed at the crux. There are some wet spots below the crux. - B-W p2 5.9 cool lieback around roofs Sun: - Sacherer Cracker 5.10a vendetta for DES, upper chimney in shorts drew blood. Familiar foot pain for me in upper fist crack; then I fortunately had knee pads. - SC/Slack p2 5.4 chimney (my "bold" lead). Nice 'n shady. - SC/Slack p3 5.8+ hand/fist crack on wall of chimney. - SC/Slack p4 5.3 chimney (not 5.7 as rated on topo) - La Escuela p3 5.10a TR nice 1.5" corner pitch, we rappelled to reach it - LE p2 5.11a lb TR, DES got w/ 1 hang, hot/sunny by this time. I did about 12 feet, then lowered off, worried that my back was getting tired. We skipped p1, due to heat, wetness, gobies, etc.
