Trip report:
We had come to Tuolomne to acclimatize for Mt. Whitney, and after spending much of our first day on the Bunny Slopes we still wanted to top out on something, so we decided to repeat Lembert. Dietrich took the first pitch, Paul the second one with the 5.9 crack. Soon we were on the summit, then headed down to make sure we'd catch enough sleep as we wanted to do Matthes Crest the next day.
