i am retarded and left the topos/guide book at home.
so we instead did whodunnit (http://www.summitpost.org/whodunit/292860) which is THE tahquitz classic as Chris had done it before and knew the route beta. it's a GREAT climb but it is a tad harder graded and longer than the long/wong climb. we summited by around 7pm due to routefinding issues, 3 people (extra slowness), and managed to kind of get off route on the way down (hard to tell where you're going when it's dark out) the friction traverse is kinda hard to know where it is on the first go. we eventually got back to the car around 10pm.
