One day Climbing Trip to the Traps (Gunks)

People: LeslieAckerman, EmiliePhillips

Facts: We stealth camped Friday night, climbed all of saturday, and drove back Saturday evening.

Story: We got out to the craggs at 8 AM and, after bypassing a number of occupied climbs, attempted Son of a Bitchy Virgin. We spent about two hours trying to get past an overhang ~10 feet off the ground. Fealing very downtrodden, we gave up and started a new climb, Middle Earth, followed by the first pitch of Andrew, the first pitch of The Last will be First, and Ribs. The Last will be First was a very nice sustained 5.6, although Leslie did get a bit run out on one of the harder bits. Ribs was also a very nice first 5.4 lead for myself.
