The plan was perfect.  For almost a year now I had been regaling anyone with a set of ears about King’s Canyon, a magical place Lin and I visited for the first time last summer.  In my opinion King’s Canyon is an untouched Yosemite, replete with vast first ascent potential, minimal approaches, perfect rock and a beautiful setting.  Nate and Shay were keen, so we planned a 3 day trip over April 18-20.  The plan was simple: 1) drive to King’s Canyon, 2) walk 10 feet and put up modern megaclassic multi-pitch first ascents 3) enjoy the hedonistic luxuries of a well stocked car camping site.

Another beautiful weekend in Joshua Tree and a few more sweet routes ticked. After a lazy saturday-morning wakeup Josh and I made it to the park before noon and headed straight for Hidden Arch, an amazing left leaning corner just to the left of Loose Lady. This thing is pretty hard, with funky crimping outside the corner followed by body-englishing your way up the corner. A total Scotty route. More »
