We got up not so early the next morning, and then spent far too long deciding where we were going to climb - always a problem with a large group. The process continued when we ran into Ed and Vivian at Lembert dome. In the end, we split into 3 groups - Amy, Daniel and I went to Stately Pleasure Dome to do South Crack (5.8), Rod, Erin and Jeremy headed for Hemaphrodite crack, and Ed and Vivian made an assault on Crescent Arch.

Amazingly enough, despite the late hour, there was only one party ahead of us on South Crack. And despite valiant attempts to convince certain parties to lead some of the pitches, there were no other takers but I. So afterwards we headed back to Lembert Dome, and did Northwest Book, where I refused to lead and forced Amy and Daniel to swing pitches.

Pictures from Saturday can be found on Amy's page.

Amy and Rod left on Sunday morning - Rod as he had some social event to return to, and Amy as she had to catch a flight to LA. Daniel and I went to Phobos and Deimos wall, and had a go at Phobos (5.9) and Deimos (5.9). Phobos is a spectacular 3 pitch mostly hand sized crack. The second pitch is absolutely stellar, and made up for the long, steep hike in (and the long steep hike out!). Deimos is another story. It's mostly hand sized, with some off-width, chimney and face moves thrown in. Not as much fun as Phobos, and I don't think it deserves the three stars given in the guide. Still a good climb though.
