The first pitch of Serenity is the craziest pin scar fest ever, it's unbelievable (see pictures below). Rich showed a cool head as he did the first 30 ft to the bolt without any gear... not that hard, but scary! I led the second pitch which was pretty nice and sustained. Afterwards Rich finished the climb, and boy was the 5.10d section hard! We both struggled and unfortunately had a fair bit of pressure w/ a line of parties behind us. We pushed ourselves enough so we decided to rap...

Afterwards we did Peruvian Flake (5.10a) at the base, which was also pretty nice. Then we had pizza for lunch and leisurely drove back...

	Miles firing the 5.10d crux	Focused...	Almost through

	Looking up at Sons of Yesterday... should we do it?	Nice view from Sunset Ledge	Me pondering whether to go on...

	Nope, we decide to rappel	Another party starts the first pitch	Rich following Peruvian Flake (5.10a)
