Clint,
Thank you for the summarized list.
I can see that route #16 (Fancy Feets, 40' variation) says 5.10a on overlay photo but 10d var on the pdf topo map. But I hope it is 5.10a because that is a maximum what I have ever lead in outdoor sport climbing. I do not know if I mind to climb 5.9 A0. I have never tried it but I would say it should not be hard if there is enough places to put a pro. But I do not even have the gear (at least a ladder), I have only slings and daisy chains.
Jeff,
you frightened me a little bit with Wawona in snow. However we went there. First day we hiked around Mariposa Grove. Oh yeah, there has been so much snow, my feet went totally wet during hiking the last loop. Yesterday we hiked to Wa Dome, pretty long and steep approach, I was so tired when we came to the Dome. Luckily Dome is not covered in snow and it is almost completely dry.
The Dome looks beautiful and rock has a superb quality (as almost everything in Yosemite). However we climbed only first pitch of the Feast :( My boyfriend is a beginner and he refused to climb higher, even top roped. The trad beginning of Feast is easy, more like 5.6. Cam#1, tricam#4 and nut#7 did it perfectly. Then I climbed the 10a variation on the right and Jesus on the Main Line - again only first pitch because we had only one rope and I was not sure if it is enough for rappelling. I did not climb the chimney of Sum Sum Riches because it seemed to be wet a little bit and there was also snow on the ground beneath the route.
I hope I will climb the Wawona Dome to the top one time.

Bump. I was just poking around to see if there was some local climbing I could squeeze into an occasional solo circuit
anybody got a topo to the Oaktown crag in Wawona?
Peace

Bump for awesome climbing and peeps (Tork & Monny that is)...
But everyone had better be careful we don't get banned by posting this on the taco since the taco is now all competition sensitive.

Hey Kev, what up?
Flip Flop, that's Mt Raymond, just southeast of Wawona. Approach is through the Mariposa Grove near the south entrance of Yosemite. A long day ski but nice as an overnighter . I have done both.

I dunno. Would be nice to know what's been climbed, if there are anchors and whatnot. I hiked up there today, walked along the base then right and up and across the top. Lots of Bushwhacking but just a few glimpses of climbing.
I might have seen that handcrack though
Peace

Was just up there this past weekend. Tried to climb The Feast - excellent line! However, there are Peregrines in Blue Moon/Feast area and also to the right. They will not let you climb the route. Forget the whole "majestic birds" description. They are aggressive as all hell, apex predators who seem wiling to f##k your s##t up if you get too close to their nest (nest appears to be far to the right side of the wall, but try explaining that to the bird).
Do NOT climb the Blue Moon/Feast area between Jan - July. You won't be able to get up the route anyway.
Also that crux section on the Feast seems to be quite harder than 5.10c. Earlier in the thread someone thought it was 11b?
