Got in five pitches after a half day of work on Tonnerre Tower. Really fun, thought provoking climbing, and in the shade!

In the for ground up that little corner -'palming'fingers out, scary up at the top.Then . . .
Just inside the awful width at the bottom, on the right side, is the only positive hold
Stuff toe, knee bar , facing straight in,
Chicken-wing , arm bar after a sit up sorta' thing
dip press out to the topThe crack that goes right across the
Rounded block, hard to show, but it has a lean to it & had a bat or two in it, that made it the scariest of the lot but five fun after the start. the start,with bats. .B^{

Got out to or private crag friday then headded to cannon sat. It was busy and seeping. We got iced a bit waiting for these guys to send. Finally got on the climb Finally Ryan got on the buisness. Ryan did not feel good and I was not up for leading the next pitch so we bailed. Still fun to have a close look at this climb.

Tradmansclimb,
If you have never done the 3rd pitch of the DD, you must get back up there.
It is one of the best pitches on the East Coast! I recommend going straight up the inside corner, at the top, rather than laybacking the overlap, out right.
Have fun!

I really want to get back up there. Isa has sworn off cannon as being too dangerous and I am not strong enough to lead more than a few of the pitches so am at the mercy of haveing a partner strong enough and willing to go up there. that 3rd pitch looked very cool but seemed hard. The tall skinny young kids with all the muscles grunted a lot and took some whips but they kept going up.

The third pitch is one of my all time favorites from anywhere, and the fact that it follows the second pitch just makes it that much more special.
Then prepare to switch gears for the fourth pitch; if the first three were wet, you can bet that runout face on P4 would be much more "damp" and exciting.

Camped at Blue Lakes, out of Hope Valley up Highway 89. There's some good looking rock out there; but my wife had a gimpy knee and foot. We had an 11 year old with us who wanted to try climbing, so she belayed for me to set up a line. A nice little half pitch, with maybe 1 5.10 move on it.
