Tricouni Nail, September 19

Joel had been itching to lead Tricouni Nail for awhile so who were we to deny him? It was after noon before we started; the temperature was good in both the shade and the sun.

Joel's shown here early in the climb; most of the route was in the sun. Mark and I had to climb through a little more shade by the time we went up. It took about an hour to get the three of us to the top and finish all our picture-taking.
