sisyphus
We combined 2-3, 4-5, 7-8, 10-11. This seem to make use of ledges optimally and allowed one climber to only lead up to 10c while the other gets all the 10d pitches if one climber feels like taking it a little easier.

Sisyphus Summits
With Zach, the 2nd desert partner I took up Sisyphus...just that good of a route and right out our back door. Beat Joe and my time from several years ago, but not by much, 7.5 from bottom to top. My notes are decent, but I struggled on a pitch I had never led on this route yet, the 10th pitch on the topo, a 5.10c that got the best of me. No issues with any of the other 5.10c's or d's. Either I was tired or will have to change which pitch I think is the crux. Climbing straight with Zach for several days now, pretty sure I am just wasted. Beautiful day! Short sleeves on the summit!
