31 May 03 - Much like Cusak's Crack, the routes on Bear's Hump is made up
primarily of two rock bands. Here we see the lower rock band. To get to the lichen
line route, you first should start with Lower Main (60m 5.5). From there, you get
above the lower rock band. We then did the first pitch of Rosedale (50m 5.5), which
brought us to the two large bulges. In the picture, we see Blair heading up toward
the second bulge. Click here for an 800x600 version.

31 May 03 - While I was belaying Blair from the ledge between the two rock bands,
A sheep came around the corner. Look closely at the bigger tree on the left side of it.

31 May 03 - From the two bulges, the next pitch traverses horizontally across some
slab. Fortunately there is a 4-6 inch ledge for your feet and a nice crack about head-height
for your hands. Traverse across this until you reach the second chimney. Then (in the same pitch)
head up that second chimney (30m 5.5). From the top of the chimney, we switch to our scrambling boots,
scrambled over some 5.2 climbing, then came to the lookout.
