Weekend Climbing; Lover's Leap Strawberry CA 7/16-7/17/16

Mid July we spent the weekend at Lover's Leap in order to on sight Pop Bottle, a 400FT 5.7 crack climb on the East Wall of Lover's Leap.  We arrived Saturday afternoon as we set up camp and prepared ourselves for an early morning start on Sunday.  This was our first 5.7 multi-pitch together and the more involved and technical sections of rock were exactly what we were in the market for.  I would agree with all the available beta about this climb regarding the crux sections of the route.  The beginning of the second pitch involved a short traverse away from a single bolt, followed by a long reach up to a dike, this was our favorite section and it can be seen in the video provided below (1:05).  Amanda was left with a strong sense of accomplishment after only her second multi-pitch and her second time camping.  Overall Pop Bottle is a good quality climb with sections of 5.7 and a variety of moves and exposure.
