|  | | Treiber's Deception |
 | Second | 5.7 | | | 1 Pitch | 90 ft | | | this was a bucket list climb for me
i've hiked past tom's thumb many times, imagining the day i would stand on top of it
after topping out on hanging gardens, we scrambled off the back and hiked up to the base of tom's thumb
quite a few people out hiking, and we had an audience at times
the initial move on this climb is a stem between a boulder and the face, followed by a step across onto the face
watching mike lead this gave me some heebie-jeebies, but it wasn't that bad
took me three tries to get my hand into a tiny crack to stick to the face, but after that it was just pure fun climbing
face, crack, lieback, off-width, a roof, a spot you have to stem and squeeze through 
there is a summit register next to the anchors
you still have to step up to the highest set of boulders
being up there was an incredible feeling
great views, a sense of accomplishment and just a cool place to be
i could get into summit climbing
from the top i thought i saw john9l and rachel, and when we rapped down off the west side, sure enough
nice to meet you two!
hiked back down to the top of gardener's wall to hit one more climb
i feel very fortunate to have done this one |
