You would be all about this route. The bottom move is a 5.9 smear you wouldn't think twice about, and the hard moves a re more vertical techy, but there is a pump that plays a role toward the top. Clipping is top is hard.
Hey there Alex. I wanted to ask if there’s any books you use to guide you to the different peaks for class 3 scrambles in the eastern sierra? I recently watched your class 3 scramble peaks by difficulty video. I’m an avid rock climber and backpacker ready to progress in my mountain skills with some “easier” climbs like Mt Gould and Cloudripper. Mt Gould seems straight forward but for peaks like cloudripper some more knowledge would be preferable. Thank you👌🏻
Hello! thanks so much for checking out the vids, I appreciate the support. THE book the sierra is RJ Secor's High Sierra: Peaks, Passes, and Trails. It has some beta on 1000's of routes. I supplement the writing with Bob Burd's trip reports, summitpost, and RUclips, and it usually sets me straight. If you need anything else please let me know, If you can think of video topics that would be helpful to you or others I am open to that idea as well. Have fun out there!
Its not the easy moves that make a route, its the hard ones. There are plenty of mid 11 moves throughout, requiring 5.11 technique and 5.11 power to send.
First and last move cruxes? with a cave in the middle, nice!
