Hall of Horrors and Baskerville Cracks

A good days climbing was had today starting with Lickety Split 5.7 and Diamond Dogs 5.10a at Hall of Horrors. The latter was a bit run out with a boulder problem start as seen in the video below.

After a leisurely lunch we set of to Hound Dome via Afpa Dome where we climbed the first day. After scrambling to the top we asked a guy belaying there if he had seen a camming device? He answered he had found 2! I had left them there three days ago and luckily they were still there!!

Hound Dome - Baskerville Left Crack 5.10a - the guidebook describes it as 'THE BEST route on the crag' (their bold letters). Well with a recommendation like that it had to be done - hard climbing.
