This is looking at Expert's Choice wall on the south side of Mt. Crandell.
The blue line shows the route called Local Decision. It's a one pitch route that is used to
reach Raspberry Ledge (shown in green), which is where a bunch of other routes start. Up and to the right is a
major crack that is called Split Cleavage (5.6), shown in red.

This is looking up Split Cleavage from Raspberry Ledge.

Here we see Blair starting to head up Split Cleavage.
|
|
Another one of Blair going up.

At this point, Blair is just below the big roof, and the end of the first pitch. You can go over a big
rock, and to the left of Blair to find a big spot to belay from.

|
Now we see Chris getting ready to go up the first pitch.
|
|
Another picture of Chris.

One more picture of Chris heading up the first pitch.

One more shot.

|
Now it's Chris' turn.
|
|
This is Blair rapping back over the roof.
|
|
Here is Blair doing his college prep immitation with the sweater over the shoulder. This is
Blair rapping down the first pitch.

|
Finally.... a picture of me. Here we see me doing the belaying.
|
|
This is Chris' picture of me starting up the first pitch.
|
|
Another one of Chris' pictures of me.
|
|
This is Chris' picture of Blair belaying me. I'd much prefer it if Blair would you a 3:1 pully system to belay me.
