Pretty fun stuff. That first pitch looks sick! Watch out for the poisonous plants and ants!

Are these pics of "Fatal Mistake" (5.11a) on the Worst Error? Or some other climb on the Worst Error? Dunno.

Anybody ever do that short crack on the boulder across from the 140 side of the river at El rock? Not quite hands width, sharper than #@^*$^%$, ???

Looked familiar. We climbed "Pink Dreams" (5.10a), rapped in from above, and did the last 5.11a pitch of "Fatal Mistake" back to the top of the Worst Error formation. Sounds easy, but remember it wasn't much of a rest day. Good combo, though. Think it was in October when you can easily cross the Merced down below.

Great pics bye he bye. Gives a real good sense of the 5.11a crux moves.

Bump!!

Has anyone freed the first pitch of Fatal Mistake? I assume it should go at ~5.13?
