no not the black dike. a relaxed day with near perfect weather on Weissner's Dike. Kate's first multipitch rock climb. Polly's first Canon lead. Me and V, we were just enjoying the scenery. Under an hour per pitch with four people, including a heroic three-rope tangle. Nice job Polly!

The route: P1 5.4 up the dike to the bolt anchor. P2 5.5 up right to some 4th class, just short of a new-looking bolt anchor. P3 5.slab up right over to some 5.dirt. P4 finish the slab up to lunch ledge. Almost stretched thr rope up to the last belay, under the archival flake, but missed it. P5 5.5 short pitch up the cracks and flakes to the slab under the flake. (a bit trickier than the first 5.5). P6 5.6 humped the flake, then fun climbing in the dihedral. always one of my favorite pitches.
