[QUOTE="Darby1, post: 1352419, member: 17953"] Mark and I went up to the Far Side area of exit 38 again yesterday, it was ****ing awesome! Well except for this death gulley that we mistakenly hiked down with our packs on, and then had to bush whack back up. That was a butt kicker and a knee killer. The weather was great and we were on some of my favorite granite. We started with a nice 2 pitch 5.10a slab, then a REALLY hard 5.10d followed by total denial on a 5.11d. A friend from work came out in the morning and did the 2 pitch route with us. It's always fun sharing a little rock ledge with friends when your a 100 feet off the ground. After our death gulley adventure we decided to take it easy on a 5.8. Turned out to be the best climb of the day. One of my favorite problems yet actualy. It looked easy at first and then I just ended up thrashing around until my arms were spent, and I have some tough fricken arms. It was slighly kicked back with this overhanging rock that tries to spit you off during the first opening moves. Mark was the first to crack the opening sequence and then he easily finished the lead, I was proud! He pulled some cool hand jams in this vertical crack and then the climbing looked desparate as he searched for his next holds. He did great but you could tell he was pulling hard with his arms pumped and legs shaking. We were thrilled at how much fun this little 5.8 was, I cruise right up 5.10s and here this easy climb had totaly captivated us.
