Long Satisfying Day
Up Contact Crack and bee line as much as possible avoiding snow on summit plateau. That crack to the summit block was horrifying but we "found" the easy way down. Incredible views!

Route Climbed: Contact Crack
Climbed this as part of the Sierra Challenge. I almost wimped out on the final exposed class 2 traverse to the summit (after free-soloing the 5.2 Contact Crack!), but luckily Matthew was able to lure me over by dangling a runner near me as I scrambled the the rest of the way :-D
It was a surpise seeing that the summit block could be reached via a class 2 route, as the one mentioned on SP earlier insisted you had to climb the class 4 crack lower down.
