We are planning a trip to Yosemite this spring. A climb on Quarter Dome has intrigued me for some time. The route Pegesus seems a hand full but I cannot find any beta on whether the rock fall in '96 destroyed the bottom of the route. Any help would be appreciated

There is some recent info on Pegasus at

Claims the first 4 pitches are "strewn with loose rock".

I also have a trip report of Bill Wright, who did it as an aid climb before the rockfall. Let me know if you want me to sent it via e-mail. His big tip: BRING A FEW PITONS & HAMMER!
