On Saturday, we started climbing around noon, and did The Line (5.9) - great two pitches. Then we walked down and did Scimitar (3p, 5.9), which is even better! The last pitch is truly wild, and the first and second pitches are also memorable. We both felt it was even nicer than The Line, although less popular for some reason (it's harder, for one).

On Sunday we also had a lazy start - the chilly October mornings mean there's no need to rush :) We went over to do Hospital Corner (5.10a), which I've always wanted to do, but a party was just roping up for the first pitch. So we kept walking and did Stem Meister, an amazing 5.10a stemming corner! Steeper than it looks, with perfect stems as the name implies. After that, we walked back to Hospital Corner and got on it behind the other party. The second pitch is pretty awesome, per its reputation. After rappelling, we did Arctic Breeze, a nice 5.10a sport climb on the left, and I desperately toproped Nirvana, an 11c sport climb on the arete. We still had energy, so we walked to the Lower Buttress and did the first pitch of Sinbad-Herbert and Surrealistic Pillar Direct, two fantastic 5.10b pitches... a day, and indeed a weekend full of absolutely stellar climbing!
