04 Nov 01 - Good early season climb. It has four tiers. The first two are done in one pitch, the third tier (the toughest) is
done as a short second pitch, and the final pitch is the longest. The third step is vertical. I was following Rob, and
he had an overhanging mushroom in his path. Fortunately, it was pretty short to get up.

04 Nov 01 - This is the line John took up the third step (the crux). It was very thin and actually hollow in one spot.
|
04 Nov 01 - This is the line Rob took up the third step (the crux). It wasn't as thin as John's line, but it had an overhanging mushroom
in the middle.
|
04 Nov 01 - Here we see Rob in the background starting the final pitch. Tom is just goofing off with the camera.
|
04 Nov 01 - This is Rob a little bit higher on the final pitch.
|
04 Nov 01 - Here we are at the top, getting ready to rap the top pitch. You can walk off the rest of it.
|
04 Nov 01 - When we finished the climb, another group was starting the crux third step. The guy in the white helmet
is where Rob and I went. The other guy is where John and Tom went.
|
04 Nov 01 - Here we are walking back to the car. If you look closely at the top pitch, you'll see two guys climbing. These
two were seconding when we left. The picture is kind of foggy from the rain that started as we were going back to the car.
