Rock Climbing – East Face North Side (5.4), Seal Rock


I co-led a CMC rock climb up the East Face North Side of Seal Rock. Kent and Chris paired up on one rope while Michelle and I were on the other.

I was happy Michelle was into swinging lead, as things would move a little smoother. She did odds while I did even pitches. It was generous on her part because number 4 is the money pitch. It features a really fun finger crack.
