Liberty Bell

Made an attempt of the Beckey route on Liberty Bell. Basically a 5.6-7 route with one 5.9 move along a finger crack past the pitons. I was in climbing boots, so the move would have been much easier in shoes.
Brian and I have become super disciplined about our turn around times.
  1. Got a late start.
  2. Portions of the trail wiped out by avalance.
  3. Got on the wrong trail.
  4. Got off route.
  5. Didn't belay from the right spot.
  6. So, on a Sunday with a 3.5 hour drive back, we bailed.
