Apron Jam + Mr Natural; Cookie Cliff
May 4-5, 2013

On Saturday, we finally climbed Mr Natural, which is the best 5.10+ finger crack ever... wow, so amazing! Unfortunately, it requires climbing Apron Jam to get to it, which is a bit of a grunt. We then went to Schultz's Ridge and climbed a couple of pitches there before enjoying a nice dinner.

Sunday was spent at the Cookie Cliff, which was actually a bit chilly and overcast - surprising for May! We climbed Beverly's Tower, Wheat Thin and Waverley Wafer... a nice day and we avoided any crowds, shockingly.
