Pama Punku 5.12d

Wapama Rock, Hetch Hetchy

Here are a collection of photos from my adventures in Hetch Hetchy this last winter. A typical California winter with weeks of no precipitation and great partners made this route possible.

Wapama Rock is the left formation in this photo. Our new free route "Pama Punku" climbs the right side of the visible South Face of Wapama
