Climbing : Orbit (II+, 5.8), May 2, 2003

Dan and I climbed Orbit and it was good. Weaseling out of leading the first pitch chimney paid off, as I got to lead all the best pitches. The highlights of this route are the second pitch finger crack, the interesting and varied face climbing above that, and romping up the sea of grapefruit-sized knobs to the top.

The next day we toured the cracks and slabs of Icicle Creek Canyon: Givler's Crack, Bo Derek, Dogleg Crack, and Cocaine Connection.
