At the very least, I can say I learned some things. Not so much about climbing, but about planning and about myself. There were two main factors in my decision-making process for the trip date. The first was that permit quota season ended September 21; the second was that my partner would be out of the state until late September. I chose to gamble a little on the date and plan our trip for the last weekend in September, since September/October in the Sierras is often still good weather for climbing.
