Crescent Arch, 5.9
Daff Dome, Tuolumne Meadows, California
     
 

This is the last of the arching pitches, the one that allows you to escape onto the upper, lower angled face. Not much for footholds and some rounded, odd shaped sections of undercling provide the principal challenge. The observant viewer will easily spot the dangling stopper that the flared crack spitted right out.

It may not not be the longest of the many fine 5.9 multi pitch routes I've done all over the world, but it is close to being one of the best. Climbed it once in that glorious summer of 1989.
