if you are just cragging or taking a down day from big routes chicken pie at new diversions sounds like it would be perfect for you confidence builder -warm up then check out new diversions if you feel solid ,all time classic

How do you "handle " the first pitch of Reeds and get spanked on the second?.....The second has rest's all over the place( bring a ghetto Blaster) and the a short .8 ish ow, The first is more technical albeit still under tree line. Sounds like you need to do both pitches of Jam crack and La cosita R side ...To start. Then Maybe Little john R side and the second pitch of the north face of Fairview, one of the best .8 pitches in the world when linked.

ohhyess, if you "climb by the stars" on Clint's lists, you'll have a ton of fun. Plenty of the one and two-star climbs on them are great. Bear in mind that the crux move or section might be one type of crack, and the hardest part of the pitch or climb to actually pull off might be another (Outer Limits p.1 is a well-known example: it's the long section of steep hands that gets most people, not the rattly fingers move low down). Start easier and work up the classics. For example, R. side of Little John is an excellent, great adventure, but not everyone finds the 5.8 first pitch to be all that easy, sometimes, not the last 5.7 pitch either. And there you are at the rap anchor and can toprope the slippery 5.8 OW left side. Some people think that's tough for 5.8 too (hard part is very short). Enjoy!!

Mark - with small hands, it's easy to cruise the first pitch and get spanked by the 2nd.

Small meaning smaller than normal sized, and since your mitts are twice normal size, I guess I should say "tiny hands" for you - although to me "tiny hands" usually means tiny girl hands that can hand jam 0.75 camalot cracks...

And since this thread is a few months old - what routes did the original poster do on their trip to Yosemite?
