Great TR, an inspiration for me as I sit at home with a 2 and 4 year old. It won't be long before they are ready...
This climb was the first date I had with my now wife, and our kids are named Tenaya and Conness, so you KNOW our kids are gonna get hauled up this!
Good job Kyler, we're proud of you. Pretty scary stuff for grandparents to see, but we are happy that you can be with your Dad on such events. Barry, we know we don't have to say be careful, but be careful. Granpie and Gramie Mack & Gale
Nice to see the grandparents comments above and their concern but I echo Moapa's statement: Lucky kid. Thanks for sharing this family adventure with the rest of us.
Went to do this April before last but couldn't find the trail between Lcap and broderick. Ended up way over by Southern Belle where they were putting up a new route. Your pic of the view from the 3rd class section seems well worth the slog. Way to go! Thanks for the gear beta too!

What are you doing??Taking a kid up a burly route like that, why, it's almost as dangerous as the McDizzle playplace! Nice work KylerT.

Awesome reportI have always wanted to do this route. Well if an 11 year old can do it...maybe I need a Dad to lead.
